Unfortunate that India's democracy was questioned in London, says PM Modi in dig at Rahul Gandhi

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a frontal attack on Rahul Gandhi, saying that it is a shame how some people are questioning India's democracy in London.
Speaking at a rally in Karnataka's Hubballi-Dharwad after inaugurating developmental projects, PM Modi said that India's democratic roots have been stitched meticulously over the centuries and no power can hurt the country's democratic traditions.

"It's unfortunate that in London questions were raised about India's democracy...Some people are constantly questioning India's democracy...," the Prime Minister said.
He said that by raising such questions, such people are insulting India's values and its 130 crore citizens.
"The people of Karnataka should be wary of such people," he said in the poll-bound state.
During his recent tour to UK, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had criticised the Modi government at several events and alleged that India's democracy is under "brutal attack".
Rahul's remarks had triggered a political slugfest between the Congress and BJP.
