PM Narendra Modi's Statement on "Minister of Hate" Doesn't Placate Opposition | Read
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today told Parliament that he has "criticised in the strongest terms" the language used by union minister Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti in an election speech in Delhi. His comments and appeal to the opposition to get to work failed. "She has apologised and the House should gracefully accept that and continue its work in national interest," Mr Modi said this morning in the Rajya Sabha or Upper House, which has not functioned since Monday with the opposition demanding the minister be removed for her hate speech.
