The BJP on Tuesday rejected Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s charge that there was “fear” in the country under the Modi government. Ms. Gandhi had made these remarks on the third anniversary of the Modi government at a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) in New Delhi.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra invoked 1984 anti-Sikh riots and the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi and said fear prevailed in those times, not now. “If there is fear now, then it is among the dishonest,” he said.
