It is to be noted that Shah's statement comes in the aftermath of the recent 'Modi surname row' controversy. Rahul Gandhi made a controversial statement during an election campaign rally in 2019.
His remark sparked a political debate and controversy, with Narendra Modi supporters accusing Rahul Gandhi of disrespecting the prime minister and his surname. Gandhi faced criticism and accusations of using derogatory language, while others claimed it was a misunderstanding and that his intention was not to insult Prime Minister Modi or his family name.
