Congress firebrand leader Digvijay Singh has compared with dictators Hitler and Mussolini. On Saturday, his party colleague Pawan Khera had said on India TV conclave Vande Mataram that MODI stands for Masood, Osama, Dawood, ISI, amid shouts of shame, shame by the audiences.
"I totally agree with Rahul ji. World needs the Doctrine of Love Peace and Compassion promoted by Sanatan Dharm Gautam Budha and Mahavir and not that of Hatred and Violence. We need Mahatma Gandhis Martin Luther Kings and not Hitlers Mussolinis and Modis," Singh said on social media.
Digvijay Singh's comment came in reaction to Congress chief Rahul Gandhi's message condemning New Zealand terror attack which claimed lives of at least five Indians.
In his message, Rahul Gandhi had said that to face terrorism, the world needs compassion and understanding, instead of bigotry and hate filled extremism.
Congress leader Pawan Khera invited public ire after he claimed that MODI stands for Masood Azhar, Osama bin Laden, Dawood Abrahim and ISI - Pakistan's intelligence agency. The leader later tried to clarify that he meant to say that PM 'hides behind' these names whenever the public raises questions about employment and development.
However, his comments did not go well among the audiences of the India TV Vande Mataram conclave. The crowd rose and shouted shame, shame, but the leader refused to withdraw his statement.
