Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on “which leader ate what and in which month” are signs of “panic” and reflect a “sick mindset”, the Congress said on Friday.
The principal Opposition party was responding to a comment made by the Prime Minister, earlier in the day while addressing a rally at Udhampur in Jammu. He had taken a dig at Opposition leaders for uploading videos of them eating non-vegetarian food during the Hindu auspicious period of Navratras or cooking mutton and eating it during the holy month of Shravan. Mr. Modi claimed that such acts by Opposition leaders displayed a “Mughal mindset” of disrespecting the sentiments of the people.
