Senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal on Saturday, 17 November, hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s jibe at Rahul Gandhi, and said that his party’s ancestors were siding with the British government while Jawaharlal Nehru was laying the foundation of ‘modern industrial India’.

PM Modi had attacked Congress president Rahul Gandhi a day before at a rally in Chattisgarh’s Ambikapur. He asked the Congress to give an account of what four generations of Gandhi family had done for the nation.
