In the wake of Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification for comparing the surname Modi to “thieves”, the party was quick to pick Khushboo’s old tweet.
Party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Digvijaya Singh asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a Twitter post on Saturday morning, “Will you file a defamation case against one of your disciples named Modi, Khushbu Sundar?” Sundar said, ‘I have never deleted any tweet from my timeline and I will not do it now.’
He asked, “What are Congress leaders trying to do by electing me? Are they comparing me with Rahul Gandhi?”
Asked if he finds nothing wrong in insulting the surname ‘Modi’, he said, “Rahul Gandhi has stooped to the level of calling all Modi thieves, I have only used the word ‘corruption’ Congress party is unable to see the difference. But if they have guts then I challenge Congress leaders to file case against me and I will face them legally.
Sundar also pointed out that the Congress party never liked appreciating the positive steps taken by the ruling BJP. “Whether it was triple talaq, scrapping of Article 370 or the introduction of the New Education Policy (NEP), the Congress party always had a problem when I tweeted,” he recalled.
An actor who has featured in over 100 films, Khushboo Sundar initially joined the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and then moved to the Congress party before joining the BJP.
