GUWAHATI: The state Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday staged a protest in Guwahati against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his alleged derogatory remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's late father during a speech in Patna, Bihar, on October 25.
BJP workers from the Guwahati Metropolitan District gathered in front of the Bhogeswar Baruah Sports Complex at Sarusajai and staged a sit-in protest, demanding an apology from the Congress president.
The protesters raised slogans against the Congress, Kharge and senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Nagaon MLA and BJP Guwahati Metropolitan District in-charge Rupak Sharma warned that the party would launch a larger public agitation against the Congress in the coming days if Kharge did not apologise to the people of the country over the alleged remarks against the Prime Minister's father.
