Replying to Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge's letter to PM Narendra Modi over remarks against Rahul Gandhi, BJP chief JP Nadda said, "Wasn't it Rahul Gandhi's mother Sonia...who used the derogatory expression 'maut ka saudagar' (merchant of death) for Modiji?" Nadda added, "You and your party glorified such shameless statements." Kharge had urged PM to tell BJP leaders to 'behave'.
