Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Feb 07 hit out at the Congress for creating a north-south divide and ripped through the grand old party for working against the interests of the nation. PM Modi accused the Congress of creating narratives to divide the country. In Rajya Sabha PM Modi said, "...A nation is not just a piece of land for us. For all of us, it is an inspirational unit...If one limb of the body doesn`t function, the entire body is considered disabled. Similarly, if one corner of the country is devoid of development, the country cannot become developed...The language that is being spoken today, new narratives are being built out of political selfishness to break the country...What can be a bigger misfortune for the country?... Such a mindset is coming out of a national party. It is unfortunate!... Our tax, our money! What language is being used? This is dangerous to the future of the country..."

Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday remained firm on his party's demand for the resignation of External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, as a debate finally commenced on the Lalit Modi row amid huge uproar that has led to a paralysis of parliament for almost a month.
