New Delhi | Union Minister Sushma Swaraj objected to Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi’s speech about BJP Veteran leader LK Advani and told him to “maintain some decorum”.
On the microblogging site Twitter, Sushma Swaraj wrote that Advani is our father figure, and his words have hurt them deeply.
राहुल जी – अडवाणी जी हमारे पिता तुल्य हैं. आपके बयान ने हमें बहुत आहत किया है. कृपया भाषा की मर्यादा रखने की कोशिश करें. #Advaniji
Rahulji – Advani ji is our father figure. Your words have hurt us deeply. Please try to maintain some decorum of your speech. #Advaniji— Chowkidar Sushma Swaraj (@SushmaSwaraj) April 6, 2019
This tweet comes after Rahul Gandhi’s speech at a poll rally in Maharastra, where he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had insulted his LK Advani disrespecting one’s guru is not Hindu culture.
Gandhi had said, “BJP talks of Hinduism. In Hinduism, the guru is supreme. It talks of guru-shishya tradition. Who is Modi’s guru? Advani. Joota maar ke stage se utara (Advani was kicked out from stage)”.
Gandhi’s remarks were a veiled reference to Advani not getting the Gandhinagar poll ticket, which he has been a sitting MP from since many years. BJP Chief Amit Shah has instead, replaced him.
The Lok Sabha polls will be held from 11th of this month and will go on in seven phases. The results of the counting will be announced on May 23.
