Senior Congress leader and former Union minister Subodh Kant Sahai on Monday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is behaving like Adolf Hitler and “will die like Hitler” if he follows the path of the German dictator.
The Congress, however, distanced itself from the statement made at the party’s ‘Satyagraha’ protest at Jantar Mantar here against the Centre’s Agnipath scheme, saying it does not endorse any indecent remarks against the prime minister.
Addressing party workers at the ‘Satyagraha’, Sahai dubbed the BJP dispensation as a government of “looters”. “This is a government of looters. Modi is acting like a ringmaster and has adopted the role of a dictator,” he said. “I feel he has even surpassed Hitler. Hitler had also created an organisation called ‘Khaki’ from within the army. If Modi follows Hitler’s path, he will die like Hitler, remember this,” he said.
Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh said in a tweet in Hindi that the Congress will continuously fight the Modi government’s dictatorial mindset and anti-people policies. “But it does not endorse any indecent remarks against the prime minister,” Ramesh said, adding that the party’s struggle will continue as per Gandhian principles
कांग्रेस पार्टी मोदी सरकार की तानाशाही विचारधारा और जनविरोधी नीतियों के खिलाफ निरंतर लड़ती रहेगी। परंतु प्रधानमंत्री के प्रति किसी भी अमर्यादित टिप्पणी से हम सहमत नहीं हैं।
हमारा संघर्ष गांधीवादी सिद्धांतों और तरीक़े से ही जारी रहेगा।
