I’m targeted as I’m from backward caste: PM on Rahul’s ‘thieves’ jibe

SRINAGAR, (PTK): Reacting to Congress President Rahul Gandhi’s “all thieves have Modi in their names” remark, PM Narendra Modi said that the “naamdar” has branded an entire community as thief.

“They abuse me because I am from backward community,” PM Modi added. “Congress and its allies have abused me many times in the past because of my caste,” PM Modi asserted.

“The Congress has been defaming me for several years over my backward community background,” Modi said.

“I am used to such bashing. Now, they are blaming the entire community while defaming me. If you dare to defame a community, I will not tolerate it,” he said.
