On Tuesday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking him to discipline his party’s leaders. The Congress chief also sought instructions for them to behave ‘properly’.In his letter to Modi, Kharge asserted that strict legal action should be taken against those giving such statements so that Indian politics can be prevented from degenerating and nothing untoward happens.“The world is shocked that the Minister of State for Railways (MoS) in the Central Government, a minister from BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh, is calling the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha ‘number one terrorist,” Kharge wrote in an apparent reference to the remarks by MoS Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu and Uttar Pradesh minister Raghuraj Singh.Kharge also made reference to the remarks made by Maharashtra MLA and a BJP leader from Delhi however he didn’t mention their names.“In Maharashtra, an MLA from a coalition party in your government has announced a reward of Rs 11 lakh to anyone who ‘cuts off the tongue’ of the Leader of the Opposition. In Delhi, a BJP leader and former MLA is threatening to ‘make her suffer like Dadi (grandmother),” Kharge said.
