AICC spokesman Anand Sharma

NEW DELHI: Congress on Sunday said PM Narendra Modi ’s remark that it was a party of Muslim men showed that he possessed an “unhealthy mentality” which was a matter of concern for the country.

A day after Modi ’s speech in Azamgarh attacking the Congress, AICC spokesman Anand Sharma said, “The PM has continuously hurt the dignity of his office. We strictly oppose what he said on Saturday. It shows his unhealthy mentality and twisted mindset.”

“There is an attempt by him to divide society... His main opposition, Congress, has led the national movement, spearheaded the fight for independence... to call it a Muslim party does not behove a PM. His unhealthy mindset is an issue of national concern. The prime minister gives out statements which are wrong as per history and facts. It is our national duty that he be removed from office,” Sharma said.

Congress’s strong words came with the reminder that “Modi is the PM of the country and not only of BJP”. “Modi has less knowledge of history... It will be better if he keeps a list of Congress presidents in his office. Maybe then he will leave his habit of giving wrong statements,” Sharma said.
