A Congress spokesperson defended Mallikarjuna Kharge’s Ravan remark, saying, “Have the courage to listen too,” in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Thursday, the Congress party responded to the BJP’s attack on party head
Mallikarjun Kharge over his ‘Ravan’ statement by calling on Prime Minister
Narendra Modi to “have the fortitude to listen too,” while also pointing to
the many times Modi had previously “insulted” Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan
Singh. A day after the BJP and its ministers published footage showing the
opposition party “insulting” the prime minister, the Congress responded.
The videos were released in advance of the Gujarat Assembly elections.
