He said the BJP strongly opposed personal attacks on the families of political leaders and urged Kharge to publicly apologise for his alleged statement.<\/p>\n<p>Thakur further accused the Congress of targeting the Prime Minister instead of taking responsibility for its political setbacks. He appealed to Congress leaders to respect democratic institutions and constitutional values.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing concern over what he described as attempts to create political instability, Thakur said India was a strong democratic nation where differences should be resolved through constitutional and democratic processes.<\/p>\n<p>He added that personal attacks, abusive language and political allegations would not weaken the BJP&#8217;s commitment to national interest and public service. He reiterated that maintaining political decency and democratic propriety was the responsibility of every political party and its leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajat Thakur Demands Public Apology from Mallikarjun Kharge over Alleged Remarks Against PM Modi\u2019s Father. &nbsp;
