 The Minister who was in Bengaluru to address a Lawyers conference,also accused Congress leaders of using abusive language against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

" We are democratic people and speak with respect. But opposition leader's -be it Rahul Gandhi or some MPs, including Mahua Moitra- have resorted to invective, abusing the Prime Minister and his mother- who is no more-  is not good for the Nations future" he said.
