PM Modi misleading country in my name: Gehlot

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of misleing country in his name.

"Earlier it was Amit Shah in Parliament and today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is misleing country by taking my name. What do y want to say? Was it wrong to write to n home minister P Chidambaram for making facilities available to those who h come to border areas of Rajasthan from Pakistan after facing persecution," Gehlot asked in a tweet in Hindi.

"Who is creating obstacles as regards giving citizenship/facilities to those who are coming here even w after facing persecution? Who, be it a Hindu or a Muslim, can have a problem with this? problem is that home minister is provoking by anuncing that NRC would be implemented in entire country, despite fact that y could t implement it in Assam," senior Congress leer said.

Modi took Gehlot's name at a rally at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan on Sunday, while targeting Congress over amended Citizenship Act.

On December 11, Shah h me a reference in Rajya Sabha to a letter written by Gehlot, during his earlier term as Rajasthan chief minister, to n home minister P Chidambaram on issue of Pakistani migrants belonging to Hindu and Sikh communities in state.
