Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday changed tack and accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of insulting Rajas and Maharajas, but maintaining a stupefying silence on the atrocities committed by Nawabs, Nizams, Sultans and Badshahs – which he said smacks of appeasement politics.
"The Congress Shehzad says that the kings and emperors of India were tyrants and they snatched the land of the poor. But by saying so he has insulted personalities like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Kittur Rani Chennamma, whose administrative acumen and patriotism inspire us even today. The shehzaada’s statement is a carefully crafted. It mentions Rajas and Maharajas, but omits the atrocities committed by the nizams, nawabs and sultans. The Congress does not remember the atrocities of Aurangzeb who destroyed hundreds of our temples, desecrated them.”
