Accusing the Congress government in Rajasthan of being “sympathetic to terrorists”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said appeasement by the ruling party would ruin the State. Terror incidents in Rajasthan, including the murder of Kanhaiya Lal last year, are a threat to its heritage, Mr. Modi said.
“The terror act in which Kanhaiya Lal was killed in Udaipur is a blot on the Congress government. This heinous crime took place because a party which sympathises with terrorists is in power,” Mr. Modi said at an election rally in Udaipur. Rajasthan had seen a number of such “shameful incidents” over the last five years, he said.
The murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur on June 28, 2022, made headlines. The two assailants were allegedly taking revenge for his support of BJP leader Nupur Sharma, who made contentious remarks earlier.
