Joshi exhorts BJP workers to chant 'Har Har Modi'

January 05, 2014 19:15

Despite Samajwadi Party demanding unconditional apology from BJP over chants of "Har Har NaMo" cheering BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi during a recent rally in Varanasi, Murli Manohar Joshi today again raised slogans of 'Har Har Modi' while addressing party workers.

Joshi asked BJP workers to shout "Ghar Ghar Modi, Har Har Modi, booth booth par Joshi" during a 'Karyakarta Sammaan Samaroh' (Honour Workers Function) organised on his 80th birthday to honour party workers for the success of the recent Vijay Shankhnad rally held here on December 20 last. Terming the "Har Har Modi" chant during Modi's December 20 rally in Varanasi as an insult to the followers of Hindu religion, the Samajwadi Party had demanded an unconditional apology from BJP.

"I will have no objection if all BJP workers raise this slogan," Joshi said and encouraged the workers to chant it in support of Modi.
