"Insult to mandate of the people of country": Jagdambika Pal over "abuses" hurled against PM Modi

Siddharthnagar (Uttar Pradesh) [India], August 29 (ANI): BJP MP Jagdambika Pal on Friday condemned alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at the Opposition's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' event in Bihar's Darbhanga
Speaking to ANI, Pal termed the incident as an "insult" to the mandate of the people of the country.
Pal said, "The way Rahul Gandhi has made derogatory remarks against the Prime Minister, it is an insult to the mandate of the people of the country... The Congress party has been continuously facing defeats, now this party has stooped to the level of using abusive words... These are statements that bring shame to the country, and certainly, this is his (Rahul Gandhi's) frustration. If he does not apologise, then just as the people of the country have rejected him, in the coming days, the people will make this a Congress-free India."
Earlier today, Congress leader Sachin Pilot strongly denounced the alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at the Opposition's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' event in Bihar's Darbhanga.
Pilot further stated that the incident had nothing to do with the Congress party, as their Voter Adhikar Yatra had already moved forward.
Speaking to ANI, the Congress leader said, "I condemn this, I denounce it. The Congress party had nothing to do with it, our journey had already moved forward... In civilized and gentle politics, there is no place for such words... Our party is Mahatma Gandhi's party, and we have never supported any such statement till date and nor will we in the future."
A political row has erupted over the alleged abuses hurled at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother at the Opposition's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' event in Bihar's Darbhanga, with BJP and NDA leaders targeting the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for the incident.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta condemned the incident, stating that such remarks reflect poor "upbringing" and a lack of respect for "Mother Earth, Mother India, or the word mother."
Speaking to media persons, CM Gupta said, "This behaviour of the opposition leaders is very shameful. Insulting any of our mothers on the land of Sita Maa is not tolerable. The people of the country reject such cheap thinking and cheap politics of speaking ill of the mother of the Prime Minister of the country."
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has also condemned the use of indecent language in an alleged video against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his late mother during a political rally, calling it an "extremely unbecoming" incident.
The 16-day 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' in Bihar led by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav aims to raise awareness about alleged irregularities in the voter list, which opposition leaders have termed a case of 'vote chori' (vote theft).
Covering over 1,300 km across 20 districts, the yatra is scheduled to conclude in Patna on September 1.
Bihar Assembly elections are expected later this year, although the Election Commission of India (ECI) has not announced an official date. (ANI)
