New Delhi: The Congress on Thursday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the controversial remarks made by some BJP leaders, calling him a “dictator” without whose permission nobody can “utter a word”.
“The government has a solo leader...(it is) dictatorship. No MP, whether he is a sadhu or a sadhvi, can utter a word without signal from him,” Congress spokesman Shaktisinh Gohil said.
Several BJP leaders, including Gorakhpur MP Yogi Adityanath, were recently in news over making allegedly intemperate remarks.
Adityanath had compared Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan to Pakistani terrorist Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of 26/11 Mumbai carnage, over his “extreme intolerance” comment. Before him, BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya had triggered a row calling Shah Rukh an “anti-national”.
