Congress Party slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for throwing out left over water of the glass he offered to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Bhagwant Mann into dustbin. The party leader Sonia Gandhi claimed it as a seriously inhuman action and asked Modi to apologise. Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal asked a nationwide protest against the government.
"It was inhuman. This way Mr. Modi has proved that he has no feelings for opposition leaders. I can only say we are in a state of emergency and intolerant government is operating in India," said Ms Gandhi.
When asked about Modi's gesture of offering the water to Mann, she said "That was okay, everybody does that. But throwing water in front of him whom you offered it just now is seriously inhuman and Mr. Modi has set a bad precedent."
Yesterday, PM Modi offered a glass of water to Bhagwant Mann, AAP's Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha, who was protesting against the CBI raids on the Delhi Secretariat. Mann, who was shouting slogans, felt uneasy and was apparently looking for water when a smiling Modi offered the MP his own glass. Mann accepted the glass of water readily and gave it back to Modi after some water left over in it. Modi took the glass back and threw water into dustbin immediately before settling that glass on his desk again.
"Modi just now proved what I said earlier in my Twitter account," said Arvind Kejriwal "I call the nationwide protests for this act of intolerance."
Main stream media is also expected to take up the incident in today's news debate shows and many prominent Indian ideologies are expected to return their awards.
