Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy has called for an apology from AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge after his controversial 'terrorist' comment aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Reddy questioned if this rhetoric stemmed from Congress leadership, urging Kharge to retract his remarks.

This statement has ignited a heated debate, with Reddy asserting that such language undermines political discourse and disrespects the citizens who support Modi. Union MoS (Home) Bandi Sanjay Kumar echoed Reddy's sentiment, labeling the comment as a reflection of frustration rather than political critique.

Kharge, during a press event in Chennai, accused Modi of intimidating political opposition through misuse of government agencies. The incident has intensified the political rivalry, highlighting stark divisions between Congress and the ruling BJP.
