Naqvi while addressing media said, “We today came for some major issues. The very first one is regarding Congress President Rahul Gandhi who is continuously giving false statements from past many months which are all clearly against PM Modi and BJP National President Amit Shah.

“Congress president Rahul Gandhi has been making baseless charges against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He had wrongly given reference to Supreme Court order and called Prime Minister a ‘chor (thief). Recently, he targeted BJP chief Amit Shah has also called him a murder accused,” Naqvi told reporters.
