Gandhi slams Modi for humiliating Vajpayee, Advani
New Delhi, June 12: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that humiliating his gurus - former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, veteran leader L.K. Advani and Jaswant Singh - is his way of protecting Indian culture.
He also attacked BJP, a party in which they "cut down their own Gurus".
Referring to a character from the Mahabharata, Gandhi tweeted: "Ekalavya cut off his right thumb because his Guru demanded it. In the BJP, they cut down their own Gurus."
"Humiliating Vajpayeeji, Advaniji, Jaswant Singhji and their families is the Prime Minister's way of protecting Indian culture," he said, attaching a video where Modi purportedly humiliated Advani.

Davangere: Two policemen injured in stone pelting during Ganesha procession
Davangere: Reports state that two groups engaged in stone pelting at each other during Ganesha idol immersion ceremony in Davangere on Thursday. Two police personnel were injured in the incident.
Few days ago, two groups of youth engaged in verbal altercation regarding raising of a flag for Eid Milad celebration. On account of the clashes, police had heightened security for the Ganesha procession. Despite the additional security, stones were pelted at the procession, sources stated. Inspector Gururaj and constable Raghavendra were injured in the incident. The procession continued after the police brought the situation to control. However, the stone pelting resumed once again as the procession surged forwards.
Security has been tightened up in the area and all shops have been closed down by the police. The two police personnel, who were injured in the stone pelting, are undergoing treatment at a hospital.
