In the petition, four witnesses have been named and media reports are also submitted. In a recent rally, Congress president has made a controversial remark while saying, I have a question. Why all the thieves have Modi in their names whether be it Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Narendra Modi? We don't know how many more such Modis will come out".

On this, Prime Minister has said that he is used to such remarks as his backward background is attacked many times. The Prime Minister said, “I am used to such slamming. Now, they are blaming the entire community while defaming me. If you dare to defame a community, I will not tolerate it. Why label entire backward community thieves by calling me one?"

He went on by saying, "The Congress and its allies say that all Modis in the society are thieves. The Congress and its allies have not kept any shortcomings in abusing of my backward caste. This time they have crossed the limits and abused the entire backward society," the Prime Minister said.
