Congress leader Pawan Khera on Monday mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a press conference where he was attacking the government over the Hindenburg Report on Adani Group.
The Congress leader was questioning the Modi government as to what was the problem in forming a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) on the Adani-Hindenburg issue.
Addressing the media, Pawan Khera said, “Why govt is running away from the discussion in the Parliament… why it’s scared of constituting a JPC… when former PMs Narasimha Rao, Atal Bihari Vajpayee could form a JPC… so Narendra Gautam Das sorry Narendra Damodar Das Modi ko kya problem hai… name bhale hi Damodar Das hai par kaam Gautam Das hai…”
Union Home Minister Amit Shah hit back at Pawan Khera, saying, ‘Today the language used by Congress spokesperson (Pawan Khera) for PM Modi is not his statement, but a statement which is in line with Rahul Gandhi’s nature. Rahul Gandhi used foul language. For PM Modi in 2019 and as a result Congress lost its opposition status.
“The language used today (by the Congress spokesperson), the public will give its answer from the ballot box. In 2024, the Congress will not be visible even if searched through binoculars,” he said.
BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya also reacted to Pawan Khera’s comment and said, “Congress has repeatedly targeted PM Modi for his humble origins and now they have not even spared his dead father, whose politics had nothing to do with… Congress’s deep-rooted sense of entitlement and disdain for a self-made man does not sit well with an aspirational India.”
