Jaipur, Sep 2 (NationPress) Congress General Secretary Sachin Pilot confirmed on Tuesday that the individual who made offensive comments regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother is not affiliated with the Congress party.
He emphasized that there is unanimous agreement on such issues - “Parents are cherished by all and deserve respect.”
Addressing the press following the Congress Legislature Party session, Pilot stated, “We unequivocally condemn such language. The person responsible for those remarks is not part of our party. If anyone resorts to abusive language on stage, they must face consequences. However, this matter should not become a political tool. We are part of a party that values culture, restraint, and discipline.”
Pilot highlighted that topics such as unemployment and development should be at the forefront of political discussions.
“Nitish Kumar has served as the Chief Minister of Bihar for numerous years and leads a coalition government - he owes explanations. We need to discuss unemployment and US tariffs,” he remarked.
In his critique of the ruling BJP, Pilot stated, “Whether it’s the Modi government at the Centre or the Bhajan Lal government in Rajasthan, their strategy has been to evade pressing issues. Currently, the state is grappling with floods, farmers are suffering significant losses, and the lives of citizens are in turmoil. These are the matters that warrant serious discussion.”
Pilot further asserted that Congress will vocally address these concerns in the Assembly. “The electorate has placed their trust in us to voice their issues. They anticipate discussions regarding their challenges within the House. Yet, this government is evading debate. Over the past two years, the Bhajan Lal government has not fulfilled its promises, and we will hold them accountable in the Assembly,” he declared.
