New Delhi: The Congress has sought an apology from the Prime Minister for attacking the party in foreign countries. “It shows his sick mentality. He has again broken the tradition of not taking domestic politics abroad and has again made malicious attacks on the previous governments. We cannot tolerate such unbecoming behaviour any longer.
Henceforth, if he again does so on foreign soil, a Congress leader or spokesman will be present there and will respond immediately,” AICC spokesman Anand Sharma said. Speaking at an event in Canada on Thursday, Mr Modi accused the previous governments of creating a “mess” in the country. Mr Modi should realise that he represents the country and not the RSS or BJP when he goes abroad, Mr Sharma added.
Taking an apparent dig at the previous governments, Mr Modi had said, “Jinko gandagi karni thi, woh gandagi kar ke chaley gaye, par hum safai karenge (Those who had to create a mess, they have done so and left. We will clean it up).” Charging that Mr Modi had painted a picture which suggested that the country was known only for corruption and scams, Mr Sharma said the Prime Minister had “lowered the dignity” of his office.
“He can even mislead Barack Obama. That he has done”, said Mr Sharma when asked about citation written by the Mr Obama.
