Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah on Tuesday attacked at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He alleged that the PM had not kept the integrity of his position intact.

The former J&K chief minister also claimed that contributions of former prime ministers like Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were being over and done, asserting, “If we are sitting here it’s because of them.”

“Quality goes down to level of forgetting what Nehru contributed to this nation. What Indira Gandhi gave to this nation, she gave her life. Rajiv Gandhi and other Prime Ministers - did they not give their entire time to build this nation? If we are sitting here it's because of them,” Abdullah at an event in the national capital Delhi on Monday lauded.

He referred to a current remark by Prime Minister Modi over alleged attack by Congress members on his parents. The National Conference leader stated, “What we are talking about? Meri maa ko gaali diya, mere baap ko gaali diya (they abused my mother, they abused my father).”

“Is that the level of the Prime Minister? I have never used my father and my mother in my language. As Prime Minister of this nation, he has to think in a bigger way,” stated ex CM Abdullah.

He recalled an interaction between former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Abdullah said that the first prime minister of the nation had congratulated the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stalwart when the latter made his maiden speech.
