MIND YOUR LANGUAGE - MANMOHAN SINGH TELLS MODI

Following the campaign trial in Karnataka, which went for polling recently, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and a bunch of other Indian National Congress leaders, have written to President Ram Nath Kovind, asking him to advise Prime Minister Narendra Modi against using "unwarranted, threatening and intimidating" language, reports NDTV.

The letter refers to a speech the PM gave while campaigning for the Karnataka assembly election, which concluded recently.

Apart from Manmohan Singh, the letter has been signed by senior Congress leaders such as Mallikarjun Kharge, P Chidambaram, Ambika Soni, Anand Sharma, Motilal Vora, Karan Singh, Ahmed Patel and Kamal Nath among others.
