Cong, BJP spar over Rahul Gandhi's remarks in US against PM Modi

New Delhi, May 31 (PTI) The Congress and the BJP sparred over Rahul Gandhi's "one such specimen" remark made in the US against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with the ruling party slamming him as a "fake Gandhi" who "insults" India on foreign soil.

Addressing an event in Santa Clara in the US, Gandhi took a dig at Prime Minister Modi, describing him as a "specimen", who could start explaining to God how the universe worked.

Leading the attack on Gandhi, Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur claimed that the Congress goes abroad on "sponsored programmes" for "anti-India propaganda" to insult the country on foreign soil.
