Meanwhile, state BJP vice president Narayanan Tirupati said the minister should be sacked and arrested immediately. He said, “If we translate it, it is the dirtiest word in the English language… If the DMK has any shame, they should sack this minister for abusing the PM in a dirty manner…. “
Meanwhile, Union Minister Anurag Thakur also strongly condemned Radhakrishnan’s remarks against the Prime Minister and said there is no place for such language in a democracy.
PTI quoted Thakur as saying, “When destruction befalls a man, the first thing that dies is his conscience. The conscience of the people involved in the ‘India Alliance’ is dead.”
“One of his ministers [INDIA bloc] Thakur said, yesterday he abused Prime Minister Modi, used objectionable words and made derogatory remarks against him in the presence of a woman MP of the party.
“With Radhakrishnan’s comment, the total number of abuses directed at Prime Minister Modi by opposition leaders has reached 120,” Thakur reportedly said. He said, “Every time he abused Modi ji, the people of India showered him with more love.”
