New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Sunday strongly objected to the
Congress comparing Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to Nazi
propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, terming it "malicious" and
"deeply condemnable".
"Not even a single criticism of Shri Narendra Modi against the
governance of the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) is factually
incorrect," said BJP general secretary and spokesman Ravi Shankar
Prasad.
"Calling it factually incorrect and comparing it with Goebbels who was
known for false propaganda, exposes the true color of the
Congress. This kind of language was spoken about only during
1975-76 when India was under emergency and democratic rights had
been suspended. This is the India of 2012 and such a language of
Congress will not be acceptable," he said.
Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari had Saturday said the it
seemed that "soul" of Goebbels "has gone inside" Modi. His
reactions came after Modi, in the party rally in Mumbai launched a
sarcastic attack on the UPA government.
Modi had Friday compared the Congress-led UPA government with
tainted godman Nirmal Baba.
Goebbels was the propaganda minister in Hitler's Nazi regime.
