Vice President CP Radhakrishnan on Wednesday criticised Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge's "terrorist" remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that he sometimes feels Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha does not differentiate between "black and white" or between "terror and terrorist."
While addressing the gathering where the Congress President was also present, the Vice President said, "I feel, sometimes Kharge ji does not differentiate between black and white, or between terror and terrorist." The Vice President's remarks come after as Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge during the last day of the election campaign in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday criticised the AIADMK for aligning with the BJP and made sharp remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Kharge allegedly referred to Modi as a "terrorist who does not believe in equality", which later sparked political backlash. The Vice President was speaking at the Amrit Mahotsava Celebration of Dr. Basavalinga Pattadevaru Mahaswamiji of Hiremath Samsthan held at Sri Channabasavashram in Bhalki, Bidar, where Kharge was also present. Earlier in the day, Vice President Radhakrishnan arrived in Karnataka and was warmly received by Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot and Karnataka Minister for Forest, Ecology and Environment Eshwar Khandre.
