BJP Seeks Apology From Congress Leader Over "Hitler" Remark Against PM

Modi will die Hitler's death if he follows his path," Congress leader"

On Monday, Union Minister Anurag Thakur demanded an apology from Congress leader Subodh Kant Sahay over his "Hitler" remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi to take action against him.

According to the statement, Mr. Sahay on Monday sought to compare PM Modi with Hitler and said "he will die like Hitler" if he takes to the tactics of the German dictator.

Mr. Sahay said BJP had "pulled down" two-three Congress-ruled state governments and alleged that the Prime Minister was behaving "like a dictator".

I think he has surpassed Hitler's history. Modi will die Hitler's death if he follows his path," Mr. Sahay, a former union minister, said.

"I wish to ask the Congress president (Sonia Gandhi) and senior Congress leaders what action is being taken against this leader. They should apologise to the nation and they should apologise to the Prime Minister," he asked.

The Union Minister said that Mr. Sahay should apologize to the nation because 130 crore people of the country gave PM Modi a full majority to form a government.

However, Congress distanced itself from Mr Sahay's remarks made at the party's 'satyagraha' protest against ED questioning of Rahul Gandhi and Agnipath scheme in Delhi, stating "we do not agree with any indecent remarks against the Prime Minister"

Congress has urged the government to withdraw the Agnipath scheme, hold wide consultations, and address issues of quality, efficiency, and economy, without compromising on the welfare of the armed forces.
