Kharge's 'Modi ka baap' remark row, BJP nationwide protests and discourse in politics
India Today ·
A political confrontation has broken out between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party following Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's remarks concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a public address in Patna. The BJP has staged demonstrations and lodged police complaints, while Congress leaders cited previous personal attacks by political opponents in defence. Alongside this debate over political discourse and accountability, the Delhi government has announced its winter pollution action plan, prohibiting non-BS6 vehicles registered outside the capital from entering Delhi between November 1 and January 31, affecting over ten lakh commuters across NCR hubs such as Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad. At Jamia Millia Islamia University, student protests and hunger strikes persist over demands for the restoration of the elected students union, prompting the deployment of Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel on campus.
