Rahul Gandhi asks PM Modi to clarify stand

New Delhi, Sep 25: The Congress on Wednesday stepped up its attack on the BJP over its MP Kangana Ranaut's remarks calling for bringing back the three farm laws with Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi demanding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi must clarify whether he is opposed to the comments or is "upto some mischief".

The opposition party demanded that the actor-politician be expelled by the ruling party if it does not agree with her remarks.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also hit out at the BJP over Ranaut's remarks and said the poll-bound states, including Haryana, would give a befitting reply to the ruling party.

Ranaut on Wednesday withdrew her remarks calling for bringing back the three farm laws and said those were her personal opinions and did not represent the party's stand.

The Congress on Tuesday shared on X a video in which Ranaut said in Hindi, "Farm laws that have been repealed should be brought back. I think this may get controversial. The laws in farmers' interest be brought back. Farmers should themselves demand this (to bring farm laws back) so that there is no hindrance to their prosperity.
