PM Modi is misleading people: Cong

Calling prime minister Narendra Modi a ‘habitual liar’, the Congress on Tuesday accused him of trying to ‘mislead’ the people of Haryana and the Election Commission by alleging violations of model code of conduct in the land deal issue involving Robert Vadra. Expressing regret for using such words, Congress spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed said that at times, wrong statements are given in politics. ‘But when the prime minister of a country becomes a habitual liar, it should be condemned,’ Ahmed said.
Referring to a newspaper report that Congress government in Haryana has officially legitimised the land deal between Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Vadra and DLF, Ahmed said there was no violation of code of conduct. ‘This newspaper mentioned a letter sent on 16 July which says that mutation in valid. Model code of conduct came into force on 12 September and our prime minister says what happened before 16 July is in violation of model code of conduct and Election Commission should pay attention. Such lies are not befitting to a PM of a country,’ he said.
