BJP Calls Nationwide Protests On Oct 26 Over Kharge’s Remark on PM Modi’s Late Father

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced nationwide protests on Monday against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s controversial remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late father, escalating the political confrontation between the ruling party and the principal Opposition.

The BJP said demonstrations would be held at state headquarters across the country to protest what it described as “insulting, indecent and offensive” comments made by Kharge at an event in Patna on Sunday, October 25.

The remarks triggered a sharp response from senior BJP leaders, who accused the Congress of resorting to personal attacks against the Prime Minister and his family.

The controversy has further intensified the exchange of accusations between the BJP and Congress, with the ruling party alleging that personal attacks against the Prime Minister have become increasingly common under the Opposition’s leadership.
