Chandigarh, December 11: As no-holds-barred Gujrat Assembly election campaign turns extremely vicious touching what could be termed as the ‘neechest(lowest)’, former prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh today hit back at his successor Narendra Modi seeking his apology in a rare political reaction.
He said, “I am deeply pained and anguished by the falsehood and canards being spread to score political points in a lost cause by none less than Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi. Fearing imminent defeat in Gujarat, desperation of Prime Minister to hurl every abuse and latch on to every straw is palpable. Sadly & regrettably, Sh. Modi is setting a dangerous precedent by his insatiable desire to tarnish every constitutional office, including that of a Former Prime Minister and Army Chief…I sincerely hope that he will apologize to the Nation for his ill thought transgression to restore the dignity of the office he occupies.
