"It's his responsibility to maintain dignity of Prime Minister's position": Congress leader Ajay Maken on PM Modi's ''mujra'' remark

New Delhi [India], May 25 : Criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his ''mujra'' remark, Congress leader Ajay Maken on Saturday said that the words used by PM Modi does not suit the position of a Prime Minister and it is his responsibility to maintain the dignity of the position he holds.
"The words used by PM Modi in the last few election campaigns do not suit the position of Prime Minister of a country. Although it is the time of elections, the PM should maintain the dignity of the position of Prime Minister," Ajay Maken told reporters in Delhi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on the India bloc for appeasement politics, saying that they are performing "mujra to keep their vote bank" intact, adding that till Modi is alive, he won't allow the rights of ST, SC or OBC to be snatched away.
"I am giving the guarantee to Bihar, SC, ST, OBC communities, till Modi is alive, I will not let them snatch away their rights. For Modi, the Constitution is supreme, for Modi, Babasaheb Ambedkar's sentiments are supreme... if the INDI alliance wants to accept the servitude of their vote bank, they are free to do so...if they want to perform mujra (dance), they are free to do... I will still stand with the SC, ST, OBC reservation staunchly. Jb tak jaan hai ladta rahunga," PM Modi said.
Congress leader Pawan Khera took a hard line against Prime Minister Narendra Modi "mujra" remarks and said that the PM's remarks demonstrated his divisive mindset, which aims to incite conflicts among the communities in the country.
"Is this the way a Prime Minister of a country speaks? Is there any provision for reservation based on religion anywhere in the Constitution? You have been a PM for 10 years, you have been sitting after taking the oath of the Constitution, you should have at least read what is written in it," Khera said.
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his "mujra" remarks and said that no Prime Minister had ever used such a language for opposition leaders in the history of the country.
"What is Modiji saying? I heard the speech of Bihar, no prime minister has ever used such words for opposition leaders in the history of the country. Your faith and your hopes were once attached to Narendra Modi, but isn't it the responsibility of the prime minister to maintain the dignity of the post? Is it not his responsibility to maintain the decorum of his post? We respect the Prime Minister's post. His reality can now be seen. Do not show so much reality to the country. He has forgotten that he represents the country. What will the future generations say," Priyanka Gandhi said, addressing a public meeting in Gorakhpur.
