Responding to Congress's criticism of PM Narendra Modi over his "bhrashtachari" remark against former PM Rajiv Gandhi, BJP on Sunday defiantly defended Modi and sought to explain the context by recalling past incidents such as the Bhopal gas tragedy and the Bofors scandal, where key accused fled the country, and the massacre of Sikhs in Delhi in 1984.

"Why is Rahul Gandhi so disturbed if integrity issues of the Rajiv Gandhi government are raised? Why did Ottavio Quattrocchi get kickbacks in Bofors? Who was the 'Q' connection? No reply has come," finance minister Arun Jaitley said in a series of tweets. He said Indira Gandhi was also assassinated and yet Congress was questioned about Emergency and Operation Blue Star.
"Every single word the PM said about Rajiv Gandhi was true and the Congress president was rattled due to his party's imminent defeat in the general election," HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said at a press conference.
