The Indian National Congress has demanded an apology from the Bharatiya Janata Party after a BJP leader referred to Congress workers as 'termites', warning that the party will stage agitation if the apology is not issued.
The Indian National Congress has formally requested that the Bharatiya Janata Party issue a public apology following a remark by a BJP leader who described Congress workers as "termites." The comment was made during a recent political gathering and was widely criticized by opposition parties.
In a press statement, Congress leaders condemned the remark as disrespectful and demanded a written apology from the BJP. They also warned that, if the apology is not forthcoming, the party would consider organizing agitation to protest the insult.
The demand comes amid heightened tensions between the two major parties, with Congress accusing the BJP of attempting to undermine its credibility through demeaning language. The BJP has yet to respond to the Congress’s call for an apology.
