The Congress party took a jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in response to comments made by senior BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi, who rebuffed claims of India currently being a 'vishwaguru'.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh highlighted BJP veteran L K Advani's portrayal of Modi as an 'events manager' rather than a protégé, reflecting on how BJP seniors perceive the prime minister. Ramesh also recalled Atal Bihari Vajpayee's 2002 call to Modi regarding 'rajdharma'.
Joshi emphasized the importance of promoting Sanskrit, even in quantum computing, and insisted that while India historically held 'vishwaguru' status, it should now work towards achieving it again.
