Rijiju demands Apology from Congress over threats to PM Modi

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday sought an apology from Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for their party workers' alleged threat to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's life. 

At a hurriedly called press conference here, Rijiju alleged that at Sunday's Congress rally in the national capital, some party workers had threatened to dig the grave of the Prime



Minister, which was the "most unfortunate and tragic" thing to happen in the Indian democracy.

"Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi should tender an apology for the Congress workers' threat to the life of the Prime Minister. 

It is most unfortunate and tragic that Congress workers openly declared to dig the grave of Prime Minister Modi," he said.
