In a reaction to the row over Maldives MP’s post on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar said that it is not acceptable if anyone from any other country holding any position makes derogatory comments on the Prime Minister.
“He (Narendra Modi) is the Prime Minister of our country and if anyone from any other country holding any position makes such comments on our PM, we won’t accept it,” Pawar said speaking at a press conference reported ANI.
The veteran politician said that we need to respect the Prime Minister’s post and object to any derogatory comments from outside.
“We must respect the PM’s post. We won’t accept anything against the Prime Minister from outside the country,” Mr Pawar said.
A massive row was triggered after the Maldives deputy minister, along with other cabinet members and government officials, made disparaging and unsavoury references to PM Modi’s Lakshadweep visit.
