Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari on Saturday fiercely countered Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s ‘terrorist’ charge against his party and said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government is their biggest enemy.

Tiwari’s retort to the Congress chief came on the back of the latter’s remarks wherein he dubbed the BJP as a ‘terrorist’ party, and accused it of harassing and humiliating those from the weaker and backward sections.

Speaking to IANS, the BJP MP from North East Delhi constituency said: “If there is any government that has zero tolerance against terrorism, corruption, mafiadom, it is the BJP. Today, they (Congress) must see and ask themselves as to why there are no terror attacks in Mumbai, where the stone pelters of Kashmir have vanished and why no bomb blast takes place under Modi government.”

“There were regular incidents under the UPA but are no longer the case now,” he added.

Kharge kicked up a major row this morning, as he took umbrage over ‘urban Naxal’ charge at the Congress party and dubbed BJP, a party of terrorists.

The Congress chief, speaking to mediapersons in Kalaburagi, lashed out at the BJP and accused it of inciting hatred among communities, tormenting the tribal people and also organising lynching attacks.
