Narendra Modi's London statement on intolerance full of hypocrisy : Congress

New Delhi, Nov 13 (IBNS) Reacting sharply to Prime Minister Narndra Modi's UK statement that his government would severely deal with intolerance, the Congress on Friday said it is "full of hypocrisy."

"The prime minister's statement in just full of hypocrisy...He said intolerance cannot be tolerated. There can't be a greater contradiction," Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma said.

He scoffed at Modi's  assertion that he has restored India's credibility abroad and alleged that the government, instead, had sullied the country's image.

"By repeating these things over and over again in capitals of other nations, he is embarrassing us...It is his government which has sullied India's image because of the forces that have been unleashed, given protection and endorsement by his government," Sharma said.

Replying a question at a joint press conference in London, the PM said :"'India is the land of Buddha and Gandhi, we will not accept any deviation from our values. Every such incident is serious. We won't tolerate such incidents...The law will deal severely with such incidents. India is a vibrant democracy and we are committed to it."
