TIL Desk/National/London/ Congress President Rahul Gandhi has targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “sleeping elephant” remark made during the Independence Day speech, saying he was “arrogant” and had insulted every Indian and his ancestors by belittling contribution of people who worked for country’s progress in the last 70 years.
Addressing an event here on Saturday organised by the Indian Overseas Congress, Gandhi also slammed Modi over the Rafale deal saying he could not answer his questions in parliament on the issue. Gandhi termed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah a “murder accused”.
He said it will be wrong to say that progress achieved by the country in the last 70 years had been brought by the Congress as people of country had worked for it and the party had only helped the process. He said those who predicted that India will break were today saying it is the country that will show the future.
“How did this happen. Congress only helped but people of India did it. Congress brought people together, your parents did it, your ancestors did it by working in the fields and when the Prime Minister says that before he came nothing happened in this country, he is not saying this about Congress, he is insulting every Indian, his parents, grand parents. But the media is with him.
