Speak out India: Should martyrs be kept out of electoral slogans?
- 5 years ago
Campaigning in Palampur, the Himachal Pradesh hometown of Kargil martyr Vikram Batra today, Narendra Modi borrowed his famous catch-phrase to ask for votes: "Yeh Dil Maange More!" At his next election rally in the state, he did that again.
Captain Batra's family was not impressed. His mother, Kamal Kanta Batra, the Aam Aadmi Party candidate from neighboring Hamirpur, has accused the BJP's prime ministerial candidate of being a "pseudo patriot" and has challenged him to a debate on the welfare of soldiers. "Modi was in charge of the BJP in Himachal during the Kargil war. He was in Palampur when Vikram died. Why didn't he visit us or any martyrs family then. Why remember us after 15 years?" she said.
