Don't appreciate such language: Rahul on 'impotent' remark


New Delhi, Feb 27 (IANS): Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi said here Thursday that he does not "appreciate" External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid's "impotent" remark on BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

Khurshid at a rally Feb 25 in his Farrukhabad constituency in Uttar Pradesh, called Modi "impotent" in failing to protect the people during the 2002 Gujarat riots.

"I do not appreciate this kind of language," Gandhi told the media here.

Other Congress leaders also said that the party does not support the use of such language.

"Congress party does not support the use of such language. Congress leaders should not use such language as this is the language of BJP. What Rahul Gandhi said is right," said Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Shukla.

Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Manish Tewari said: "Congress will only use the language that is appreciated by the people."

    "Japan ped a nuclear bomb on US during World War 2",

    "Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on October 30, 1948" -

    These are just two of the many factual errors in textbooks published by the Gujarat government for state-run schools.October

    Rupees 12 earning persons are not considered bpl. as per modi.

    I do not find any mistake in Salman Khurshid statement. People died and brutally killed in the 2002 riots and MODI kept quiet as a "IMPOTENT CM" of Gujrat. The more irritating part is that he does not regret the incident and nor apologetic.

    People speak about 1984 Sikh riots and they held responsible the 2nd generation of Neharu/Gandhi family who are not involved during those days. And the Congress family still comforts them and regret the incident.

    The opposition BJP/RSS is taking all advantage of sober nature of congress leaders and partymen. The criminals, murderers and buctures should not take Congress vice president's statement for granted.

    What is clear is that these congress leaders do not have any valid,substantive arguments to counter Modi and are indulging in such game of calling names. Ms.Gandhi said these people are doing "Zehar ki kethi" Even Rahul said that Modi and BP are doing "Khoon ki Rajneethi" and now Salman says this! Rahul must control his tongue before pulling up others. But then this i apparently all eyewash!

    As I said above, We BJPians never provoke others. But if we are provoked, we will hit them back with the double magnitude.

    She had used an extreme language SAAVINA VYAAPAARI (merchant of death) to us. We gave her back in the same language.

    This is one such example. She had used similar hatred words many times. We know how to hit her back. But we don't bite others unless we are bitten by them. This is the principle we are following.

    Why can't Rahul gandhi control his mother's tongue which is known for spitting extreme bad and hatred language on others?

    Rahul Gandhi has woken up now and wants to show people that he is good, since election is nearing. From the last 10 years, one or other congress people have been using such languages on opposition leaders. Did he ever stand against them? How come suddenly he got JNANODAYA? Oh..it is election time correct?

He should have taken Home Ministry and should have done a very very good service. Now, after 2 years he noticed that the government was rated Need Improvement and he hesitated to participate in the government formation and now the time is really out, REALLY??? How long its out.
