Kharge accuses PM Modi of terrorising opposition parties

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday stepped up his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of “terrorising”  political parties and people by misusing government machinery and central agencies to stifle the opposition.

Addressing a press conference in Chennai alongside AICC General Secretary (Organisation) KC Venugopal, Kharge initially referred to the Prime Minister as a “terrorist” while criticising the AIADMK’s alliance



with the BJP.

However, when pressed by reporters to clarify the context of the remark, the Congress chief stated he meant the Prime Minister was “terrorising” the democratic fabric of the country. “He is terrorising people and political parties. I never said he is a terrorist (in the literal sense). 

Terrorising this… he is misusing his power and government machinery and abusing, malingering opposition parties,” Kharge said.
