The Congress today suspended senior leader Mani Shankar Aiyar from the primary membership of the party and issued him a show-cause notice, after he called PM Narendra Modi a neech aadmi.
Congress communications in-charge Randeep Surjewala said the action showed the party’s “Gandhian leadership” and respect for the political rival.
He asked whether Modi would dare to act similarly.
Earlier in the day, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi had asked Aiyar to apologise.
