The Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Saturday repeated the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s accusation that the Congress manifesto has a “foreign hand” and that the main opposition party intends to give people’s “property to Muslims”.
The Congress has complained to the Election Commission, citing the Minister’s remarks as “outrageous” and claiming that it went against the election code. “In the Congress manifesto, along with the hand of the Congress, hands of foreign forces are also visible who want to give your children’s property to Muslims, finish the nations nuclear weapons, divide the nation on casteism and regionalism,” Mr Thakur said during a rally in Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur district.
