New Delhi, June 13: The Congress today criticised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi for “dragging” Sonia Gandhi into the issue of Bhopal gas tragedy case, saying the BJP leader practiced “disruptive, divisive and a low level of politics”.
“Narendra Modi has always practiced disruptive, divisive and a low level of politics and we reject his suggestions with contempt,” Congress spokesperson Jayanti Natarajan told reporters when asked to react to Modi’s comments at a BJP rally in Patna.
Attacking the Congress chief over her “silence” on the Bhopal gas tragedy verdict, Modi today asked her to explain who was the ‘Maut ka saudagar’ (merchant of death).
Sonia Gandhi had during the campaign for the 2007 Gujarat Assembly polls called Modi a merchant of death for the 2002 riots in the state in the aftermath of the Godhra train carnage.
