Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s comment against Rahul Gandhi is a new low in political discourse and he must “atone” for his unpardonable words by quitting office, former Law Minister Ashwani Kumar said on Sunday as several Opposition leaders slammed Mr. Sarma and asked him to tender a public apology.
But a defiant Mr. Sarma, in a fresh tweet, said India is not just a union of States but “Bharat is our Maa” and claimed questioning the Army was is an insult to the mother.
