NEW DELHI: Days after senior Congress leader Raj Babbar created a flutter after comparing the falling value of Indian rupee with the advanced age of PM Modi 's mother, another Congress leader has stirred a controversy.In a video that was shared by the BJP on Twitter, former Union minister Vilasrao Muttemwar can be seen making personal attacks on PM Modi and his father.Addressing a meeting in poll-bound Rajasthan , Muttemwar can be seen making comparisons between PM Modi's father and Congress chief Rahul Gandhi 's lineage.In the video, the former Union minister says, "Who knew you (Modi) before you became the Prime Minister? Even today nobody knows your father's name. Everyone knows Rahul's father's name - Rajiv Gandhi. Everyone knows Rajiv Gandhi's mother's name - Indira Gandhi. Everyone knows Indira's father's name - Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. And everyone knows Motilal Nehru is the father of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. Everyone knows five generations of Rahul Gandhi. But this Narendra, nobody knows his father's name. And, he is asking us for hisaab."Muttemwar, who hails from Vidarbha region, told PTI that the video in circulation was distorted."It was an internal party meeting yesterday. The person who shot the video distorted it and posted it online," he said.The Congress leader said it was a fact that people of the country knew who Rahul Gandhi's father was but not many knew about Modi's father. "The world knows past generations of Rahul Gandhi but no one knows who Modi's father was," he said.Earlier, responding to Raj Babbar 's remarks, PM Modi launched a scathing attack on the Congress and the Gandhi family on Saturday, saying the opposition party was dragging his mother into the political slugfest as it did not have any real issue and could not fight him.Speaking at Chhattarpur in Madhya Pradesh, PM Modi had said the Congress was "abusing" his nonagenarian mother as it was bereft of issues.Saying he was speaking in "pain", Modi added, "After all, their weapons to target Modi have failed...they are now hurling abuses at Modi's mother, who does not understand even R of 'rajniti' (politics)."(With inputs from agency)Read this story in Bengali
