“Oppose, criticise, condemn as much as you want. But if you cross the limits of decency, it is wrong. The debate will turn vulgar. Criticise the Prime Minister, but not with indecent language,” he said.
"Decent words should be used. You speak up, you oppose and criticise, condemn as much as you want, but if you cross the limits of decency, it is wrong and it should not be done. Be it about anyone. Criticise the PM, but remember one thing that if you are crossing the line, it is not right. Then the subject of our debate would be wrong and vulgar. If someone else is doing that, we do not need to copy them," said Owaisi on a viral video with purported derogatory remarks against PM Modi and his mother at an INDIA bloc event in Darbhanga

Amit Shah seeks Rahul Gandhi’s apology
Reacting strongly to the row, Union Home Minister Amit Shah accused the Congress of indulging in “politics of hatred.” Addressing a rally in Guwahati, Shah demanded that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi apologise to PM Modi and his late mother.
Shah alleged that this is not the first instance of disrespect, citing past remarks by Congress leaders like Sonia Gandhi, Manishankar Iyer, Jairam Ramesh, and Renuka Chowdhary. He argued, “Since Modi ji became CM, derogatory names have been used for him- will you win the people’s mandate like this?”
