Azam Khan 'gifts' broom, pen to MLAs; taunts Modi

March 29, 2015 15:29

UP minister Azam Khan, known for his frequent barbs against the Prime Minister, surprised MLAs from all parties with unusual 'gifts' of a broom and a pen along with a letter asking them to decide which among the two can take on the evils in the society.

"I am giving two gifts (pen and broom). You all should decide which one could eradicate sins in the society and which reminds you that you can not treat the society only by slogans," he said.

Khan's gift is seen as a covert attak on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has given slogan for 'Swacch Bharat Abhiyan'. The minister, earlier during the session, had attacked the PM on the issue by saying that he had given broom in people's hand and took away pen from them.
