Kharge Accuses BJP of Terror Links Amidst Modi's Naxal Slur

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge labeled BJP as a 'party of terrorists', responding to PM Narendra Modi's 'urban Naxals' remark. Kharge accused BJP of lynching and atrocities against SC/STs, while BJP's N Ravikumar challenged him to compare terrorism under Modi and Manmohan Singh's rule.

In a fiery exchange, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused the BJP of being a 'party of terrorists' following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's controversial characterization of Congress as run by a 'gang of urban Naxals'.

Kharge's comments came as a vehement retaliation to Modi's repeated claims, as he accused the BJP of engaging in heinous acts including lynching and atrocities against marginalized communities such as SC/STs.

Countering these accusations, senior BJP leader N Ravikumar challenged Kharge to a debate juxtaposing the handling of terrorism during Modi's decade-long tenure with that of the Manmohan Singh era, emphasizing a significant decline in terror activities.
