Taking strong exception to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks that Congress was “sympathetic to terrorists”, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday said such a language was unacceptable, as it could vitiate the atmosphere and make issues out of non-issues by provoking the people.
“I would make a humble request to the Prime Minister not to create this kind of environment in the country. It is not in the interest of the nation, nor the society,” Mr. Gehlot said, talking to mediapersons after addressing a ‘Congress Guarantee Samvad’ programme at Bali in Pali district.
Mr. Modi had made the remarks during an election rally in Udaipur on Thursday and accused the Congress government of pursuing an appeasement policy to help the terrorists while referring to the murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal last year.
