NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has raked up old tweets of Youth Congress leader Salman Nizami about 'azadi' and 'Afzal Guru'.
Addressing a rally in Gujarat's Lunavada, Modi said, "There is a youth Congress leader Salman Nizami. He is even campaigning for Congress in Gujarat. He wrote on Twitter about Rahul Ji's father, grandmother. That is OK, but he asks, 'Modi, tell me who is your mother, who is your father?' Such language can't even be used for enemies."
Modi also spoke about Nizami's tweets on Afzal Guru. "He calls for Azad Kashmir. He calls our army rapists. How can the people accept such people like Salman Nizami? He also says an Afzal will emerge from every home," Modi said.
Modi said that Congress had been rejected throughout the country and Gujarat would do the same.
Modi also said that Congress had always misled the Muslim community. "In every part of the country, the Congress has misled the Muslim community. They have made fake promises of reservations for Muslims but in no state have they fulfilled their promise," he said.
In the first phase of election today, voting is underway in 89 constituencies in Gujarat.
