Manmohan Singh writes to President about PM Narendra Modi
Former prime minister Manmohan Singh has written a letter to President Ram Nath Kovind in which he has condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'threat' to the Indian National Congress (INC).
Singh said Prime Minister Modi was "using his powers and privileges as Prime Minister to settle personal and political scores" during the Karnataka elections.
Prime Minister Modi in a public rally in Hubli said, "Congress ke neta kan khol karke sun lijiye, agar seemao ko paar karoge, to ye Modi hai, lene ke dene pad jayenge (Congress leaders listen to me while having your ears wide open. If you cross limits, I am Modi, you will have to pay consequences.)"
Dr Singh said Prime Minister Modi's words were "menacing and intimidating with intent to insult and provoke breach of peace". "We would like to state that neither the party nor our leaders will be cowed down by such threats," Singh added.
