A fresh political confrontation has erupted between the Congress and the BJP after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s remarks about “intellectual Naxals” during his Deepavali visit to Bastar.
Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi responded by challenging the Prime Minister to an open debate on who is truly anti-national and who is influenced by foreign forces. The Congress has accused PM Modi of using official platforms to attack political opponents, while the BJP maintains that Parliament remains the proper forum for debate.
