Home Minister Amit Shah strongly rebuked Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge for calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'terrorist' during a press conference in Chennai. Shah stated that Kharge's comments breached public conduct standards and brought shame to the nation, emphasizing that such insults reflect poorly on the millions who support Modi. Kharge's remark came while questioning the AIADMK's alliance with the BJP ahead of the Tamil Nadu polls, invoking the legacies of notable Dravidian and Dalit leaders. However, Kharge later clarified that he meant Modi 'terrorizes' political opponents rather than labeling him a terrorist. In response, Union Minister Piyush Goyal demanded apologies from Congress and DMK leaders, asserting that their statements insulted the democratic choice of the Indian people. The BJP has lodged a formal complaint with the Election Commission, seeking action against Kharge for his derogatory remarks, including a public apology and campaign restrictions.
