Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Sunday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his ‘jail’ swipe at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, claiming this was a “confession” that investigation agencies were acting at the PM’s behest.

Recalling that the PM has given the guarantee that when polls finish, Tejashwi will be sent to jail, Sibal said, “How can he (PM) send Tejashwi to jail? There is a legal process. This means that law is working on his direction. How does he know? I have been saying probe agencies are working at his behest. This is a confession. To what kind of level our democratic processes have fallen?” Sibal said at a press conference.

Sibal further slammed Modi for his ‘mujra’ remark for Opposition and said that even though this was a violation of the model code of conduct but no one, including the Election Commission, will act as they all were “hand in glove”.

“He (PM) is sitting in a high office that has its own dignity. If you reduce the dignity of the PM’s post to such a level, look at what is being said on social media. When you speak about mujra, that is an insult to women also,” Sibal said, adding, “What do you want to say? You are insulting women, you are insulting opposition leaders. You use such words which are not supposed to be used by any leader, leave Prime Minister, not even councilors should also not speak such things. If you will give that message from the top, the same will happen downwards. So you want to create a culture of hate,” Rajya Sabha MP said.
