SC taught lesson to those who engage in puerile talk: PM Modi
NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday termed the embarrassment caused to Rahul Gandhi by the Supreme Court's rebuke a slap in the face of those who engage in puerile talk about the country's borders and the armed forces, reports Akhilesh Singh. "People make childish and unsubstantiated comments about Indian territory and security, and the court has served him a lesson," PM Modi is learnt to have remarked at the meeting of the NDA parliamentary party a day after SC came down hard on the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha for his statement about Indian soldiers having been bashed up by the Chinese during the 2020 stand off in Galwan.
He, however, did not mention Rahul by name.
