Call for ‘vote jihad’ insult to democracy, Constitution: PM Modi

PM Modi Thursday slammed an INDIA bloc constituent’s call for “vote jihad” as “an insult to democracy and Constitution”. PM said he found the remark of Maria Alam, SP candidate and niece of Congress veteran Salman Khurshid, at a rally in UP all the more shocking as it came “from a person belonging to an educated Muslim family and not someone who studied in a madrassa”.
