A high-level delegation from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) met the Election Commission of India on Wednesday to address remarks made by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, who referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a 'terrorist' during a campaign event in Tamil Nadu. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, part of the delegation, condemned Kharge's comments as unprecedented and a violation of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC), demanding an apology from the Congress leader. Rijiju emphasized that such language undermines democracy and called for strict action against Kharge. The BJP's complaint argues that Kharge's statement, widely circulated in media, could disrupt the electoral environment. Kharge defended his remarks, claiming he intended to convey that Modi terrorizes political opponents rather than labeling him a terrorist. This incident underscores the heightened political tensions as elections approach, with both parties exchanging sharp criticisms.
