BJP hits back at Rahul Gandhi on ‘liar PM’ comment

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his “Prime Minister of RSS lies to mother India” comment, calling him the “chieftain of liars” and accused the Congress of spreading misinformation on the construction of detention centres.

Earlier yesterday, Gandhi tweeted a video which shows a road in Assam’s Matia leading to a purported detention centre, and a part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech wherein he said that rumours of detention centres raised by Congress and urban Naxals were a “lie”. “The Prime Minister of RSS lies to Bharat Mata,” he captioned the post with the hashtag lies, lies, lies.

Speaking at a press conference here, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said that Gandhi was wrong in calling the Prime Minister a ‘liar’.

Seeking to clarify Modi’s comments, Patra said: “He said that no detention centre has been made to detain any Indian Muslims under NRC under the BJP government rule. What is the lie in it?”

“Rahul Gandhi is spreading lies regarding detention centres. He and his Congress party have been spreading rumours that Muslims will be detained and deported. This is a pure lie,” he said.

Calling Gandhi, a former Congress president, a chieftain of liers, the BJP leader said that three detention centres were constructed in Assam on directions of the previous Congress-led UPA government at the Centre.
