BJP National President JP Nadda has penned a letter to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge reminding him of the derogatory remarks that former party chiefs Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and other leaders made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Congress leaders insulted PM Modi more than 110 times in the last ten years, and the highest leadership of the Congress party also share it, claims Nadda.
Countering the recent letter Kharge sent to PM Modi, JP Nadda in his letter on Thursday sharply attacked and accused, "In an attempt to reintroduce your repeatedly rejected and failed product to the public, the letter you wrote to the illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi shows that your statements are far from reality and truth.".
"It seems that either you have forgotten or deliberately turned a blind eye to the doings of your leaders, Rahul Gandhi, and others. So, I thought it my duty to draw these facts to your attention. Since you have specifically named Rahul Gandhi alone in your letter, I'll begin by talking about him.".
He is the person who has a history of insulting the Prime Minister and the entire OBC community by calling them "thieves," who used highly inappropriate words for the Prime Minister, who threatened to beat up the Prime Minister in Parliament, whose audacious mindset is well known across the country — why are you compelled to defend such a person?
Was it not the mother of Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, who termed the PM Modi as Maut Ka Saudagar (merchant of death)? You and your party s leaders have always glorified such unfortunate and shameful statements.
"Why did the Congress forget the principles of political decency back then? When Rahul Gandhi publicly announced, 'We will sully Modi's image,' who broke the political decorum, Kharge? I understand that defending and glorifying your perpetually failing product is a compulsion for you, but as Congress chief, you must have reflected on these issues."
He went on to write, "Deeply saddening that the country's oldest political party has now become a 'copy and paste' party under the pressure of its privileged prince. Congress, in search of power, has adopted Rahul Gandhi's poisonous ideology and ironically, feels proud about it. Over 110 abuses hurled by Congress leaders at PM Narendra Modi over the last 10 years, with the party's top leadership also being involved.
"Why do words like political decency, integrity, discipline, and etiquette disappear from your and Congress' dictionary during those times? On one hand, you preach political decency, but on the other, your party's history is filled with instances of trampling upon it. Why this double standard? What all has been said by your leaders about the Prime Minister?"
In his letter, Nadda also refers to several derogatory comments and remarks Congress leaders have made about PM Modi. Moreover, he says that his parents too were insulted by them.
He stated: "In the history of Independent India, no popular leader has ever been insulted as much as the Prime Minister by your party's leaders. Also, the Congress leaders who have insulted the Prime Minister have been rewarded with higher positions within the party. If I start listing such examples, you better know that we'd need to write a 'separate book.'
"Can't such statements and acts shame the country and break political etiquette? How can one forget this? What does Rahul Gandhi boast of in Congress?
"Is it because he fraternizes with anti-India elements supported by Pakistan, or because he stands with programs supporting terrorists? Is it because he seeks support from forces that aim to break the country, or because he asks foreign powers to interfere in India's democracy? Is it because he engages in caste-based politics to pit one community against the other, or because he expresses the intent to abolish reservations on foreign soil and thereby threatens the rights of Dalits, OBCs, and tribals?
"It is either because he poisons the peaceful atmosphere of Jammu and Kashmir, or because he was in favor of freeing terrorists, restarting talks with Pakistan, trading with Pakistan, and Article 370 coming back?
"Is it because he claims Hindus are a bigger threat than Pakistani terrorist organisations, or because he repeatedly insults Hindu Sanatan culture? Is it because he questions the bravery of our soldiers, or because he degrades their sacrifices by calling it 'trading in blood'?
"It is because he makes controversial statements about the turbans and bracelets of the Sikh brothers. Does not your letter expose Congress' clear double standards?
Nadda reminded Kharge of derogatory statements made not only by Congress leaders like Sam Pitroda, Imran Masood, K Suresh, Digvijaya Singh, Shashi Tharoor, P Chidambaram, and Sushil Shinde.
Accusing the Congress party further, BJP President said, "If anybody has insulted and tainted India's great democracy the most, it is the Congress party, and you know this very well. It was Congress that imposed the Emergency, supported triple talaq, defamed constitutional institutions and weakened them.".
"You know who said that the first claim on the country's resources belongs to a particular section of society. You know how Dalits, OBCs, and tribals are stripped of their rights in Congress-governed states. Therefore, the self-proclaimed 'Mohabbat ki dukaan' being run by your leader Rahul Gandhi in the Congress party is actually selling the poison of casteism, sowing the seeds of divisiveness, adding anti-national elements, defaming the country, and using a hammer to break the nation."
Nadda concluded by saying, "I hope, that you, your party, and your leader have received adequate answers to your questions. I pray to God to give you the wisdom and strength to work in national interest."
