Priyanka Gandhi Slams Modi Over 'Mujra' Remark, Says 'PM Ke Pad Ko Itna Gira Chuke...'
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticised Prime Minister Modi's "mujra" remark against the opposition, emphasising the Prime Minister's responsibility to maintain the dignity of his office.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his recent 'mujra' remark directed at the opposition alliance, I.N.D.I.A. bloc. She asserted that no prime minister in the history of India has used such derogatory language for opposition leaders, and emphasised the responsibility of the Prime Minister to uphold the dignity of his office.
"Modi Ji, you are the Prime Minister of the country. Please do not reveal your harsh reality to the nation. You have said that the country is like your family. The head of a family always carries a sense of respect towards its members, which should never be lost. Today, the entire country respects the position of Prime Minister, and so do we. It is your duty to maintain the decorum and dignity of the office. But today, the way you speak reflects your true nature," Vadra said at a joint election rally with SP chief Akhilesh Yadav in Gorakhpur.
"At one time, your faith and hopes were tied to Modi Ji. Is it not his responsibility to maintain the decorum and dignity of the office? The way he is speaking today shows his true nature. It appears that the Prime Minister is nervous and has forgotten that he is the representative of the country. Such words should not come from his mouth. They have degraded the position of our Prime Minister to such an extent. They have not maintained the decorum and dignity of the office."
प्रधानमंत्री जी ने अपने भाषण में विपक्ष के नेताओं के लिए ऐसे-ऐसे शब्द इस्तेमाल किए जो इतिहास में किसी प्रधानमंत्री ने इस्तेमाल नहीं किए। क्या उनकी जिम्मेदारी नहीं बनती कि पद की मर्यादा रखें?

Earlier in the day, addressing rallies in neighbouring Bihar, PM Modi accused the opposition I.N.D.I.A. bloc of attempting to rob Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC) of their quota and divert these benefits to Muslims. He claimed the opposition may remain enslaved and perform 'mujra' to please their vote bank.
"Bihar is the land which has given a new direction to the fight for social justice. I want to announce on its soil that I will foil the plans of the 'INDIA' coalition to loot the rights of SC, ST and OBC and give them to Muslims. They can remain slaves and do 'mujra' to please their vote bank," PM Modi said during his rally.

PM Modi Doesn't Remember 'Maryada': Congress Chief Kharge
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also condemned the Prime Minister's remarks, suggesting that Modi's language indicates a sense of panic. "These statements indicate that Modi Ji himself is nervous. The Prime Minister should speak like a statesman but often resorts to incitement. He talks about Hindu-Muslim issues and creates caste-based divisions. You are stripping away constitutional rights one by one and denying people their benefits. That is why we are fighting," Kharge stated.
In a post on social media platform X, Kharge further criticised Modi's choice of words, stating, "From 'M', Modi Ji remembers 'mutton', 'fish', 'Mughal', 'mangalsutra', and 'mujra', but he doesn't remember 'maryada' (dignity), which should be associated with the position of Prime Minister!"
