#Delhi : #LokSabha #CPI (M) MP Mohammad Salim on Monday accused Home Minister Rajnath Singh of having said about #NarendraModi’s ascent to power that “a Hindu had come to power after 800 years”.
“In my parliamentary career, I am hurt for the first time. This is a serious allegation. I think no home minister should continue after making such a comment,” he said.
Home Minister added that he never made loose comments and was always very particular about what he said.
Mr. Mohammad Salim, however, said that he was quoting from a news magazine and if it was not true, Rajnath Singh must send a legal notice to the media house.
