New Delhi, Mar 5 (IT): A Congress leader was caught on camera instigating his supporters to assassinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Karnataka Congress leader Belur Gopalakrishna in the video had asked his supporters if they have "the courage to kill PM Narendra Modi" then there is no need to "kill anyone else" from the BJP.
"They (BJP) speak about Nathuram Godse today who killed Gandhiji. Such people should not be in our country. If you have courage to kill PM Narendra Modi, don't kill anyone else in the party," Gopalakrishna said in the video shared by the Karnataka BJP on Twitter.
Meanwhile, many social media users on Tuesday reported that BJP's website was hacked, and shared screenshots of an unflattering meme featuring PM Modi.
A caption above the meme said, in abusive language: "Brothers and sisters, I've fooled all of you. Brothers and sisters, we've fooled all of you. More to come! Many, many congratulations!"
The BJP website was down at the time when this story was last updated. "We'll be back soon!Sorry for the inconvenience but we're performing some maintenance at the moment. we'll be back online shortly!," a message at the BJP website read.
The BJP is yet to issue an official statement.
