First deal with Rahul insult over lawmaker ordinance, Modi tells PM, Reacting to PM Singhs charge that BJP was lowering quality of political debate, Modi said he should first think of his insult by Congress Rahul, who had rejected his ordinance on convicted MPs as nonsense. Dignity of PMs post was shattered. Who did it? Who has insulted the entire Cabinet? Who has humiliated the entire Parliament. The party of which you are so proud of and that party which has made you sit on the PMs chair, that partys VP audacity of calling your decision nonsense, Modi said election rally here. Modi was referring to the matter of the ordinance, now revoked, which was cleared by Union Cabinet with an intention to nullify a Supreme Court order prescribing immediate disqualification of an MLA or MP if convicted in a court of law. Gandhi had termed the ordinance complete nonsense, saying it should be torn up and thrown away. No BJP member has committed the sin or caused the humiliation that he (Gandhi) did by tearing up the paper of a decision which was taken democratically. Those with whose blessing you are occupying the (PMs) chair have conspired to show you down in front of billions of people, Modi said. Modi, BJP PM candidate, said Gandhis comments were like a slap on the (PMs) face while he had been on a US visit. Tell us PM, have we done this? If you cannot say anything against them, then dont, but do not blame us for this, Modi said. Modi further alleged that Shahzade (Gandhi) had lowered the dignity of democratic institutions. Recently, he (Gandhi) said BJP is chor (thief)... The country knows that when the last Parliament session was on, there were slogans of Chor, Chor... You also asked if opposition in any other country calls its PM Chor? Modi said. Gandhi had last week had dubbed BJP a party of thieves during an election rally in Chhattisgarh & accused it of looting natural resources in that state. Is this kind of behaviour right? If you say we are thieves, then we accept this charge... We have committed theft. We have stolen Congresss sleep, he said.
