Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remark on PM Narendra Modi triggered a political controversy with Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday terming them as “disgraceful”.

Later, Kharge retaliated by saying that Shah should focus on serious issues like Manipur and caste census.

Earlier on Monday, Shah in a post on X had said, “Yesterday, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has outperformed himself, his leaders and his party in being absolutely distasteful and disgraceful in his speech. In a bitter display of spite, he unnecessarily dragged PM Modi into his personal health matters by saying that he would die only after removing PM Modi from power.”

“It just shows how much hate and fear these Congress people have of PM Modi that they are thinking of him constantly. As for the health of Kharge ji, Modi ji prays, I pray and we all pray that he lives a long, healthy life. May he continue to live for many years and may he live to see the creation of a viksit Bharat by 2047,” Shah had said further.

While addressing a rally in Kathua in Jammu and Kashmir on September 29, Kharge, who fell unwell, during his speech, had said, “We will fight to restore statehood...I am 83 years old, I am not going to die so early. I will stay alive till PM Modi is removed from power...”
