Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday hit back at Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra for claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi disrespected her party chief Mallikarjun Kharge by not responding to his letter himself, saying she does not understand parliamentary traditions and standards. Priyanka Gandhi on Friday accused Modi of disrespecting Kharge by not replying to the Congress president's letter himself and said it is unfortunate that leaders in the highest positions have rejected great traditions of democracy. BJP president J P Nadda had responded to the letter written by Kharge to Modi.

In his letter to Modi, the Congress chief had asserted that strict legal action should be taken against certain ministers for making objectionable statements so that Indian politics could be prevented from degenerating. In his response, Nadda had accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of having a history of abusing Modi and the Other Backward Classes (OBC), and of siding with anti-India forces. Hitting back at Priyanka Gandhi in a post on X, Rijiju, the parliamentary affairs and minority affairs minister, said: "Mallikarjun Khargeji is Congress party president, and we respect him.



J P Naddaji is national president of BJP. Is Congress party's president above the BJP president? Mallikarjunji is leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha but JP Nadda ji is the leader of the House in Rajya Sabha! Is leader of opposition above leader of the house?"
