Untouchability continues in politics: Narendra Modi

April 24, 2013 22:18

Apparently alluding to the protest by the CPI-M and resentment by the Congress over his visit to Sree Narayana Mutt at nearby Sivagiri, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today stated that 'untouchability' was increasing in politics.

"Political untouchability is increasing in society though this great evil had been eradicated in social life to a great extent by the works of spiritual leaders and reformers," Modi said while inaugurating the golden Jubilee of Sree Narayana Dharma Meemamsa Parishad at Sivagiri Mutt at Varkala.
