Patra's remark on 'Jagannath': Congress asks PM Modi to apologise
Addressing a press conference on the issue at the AICC headquarters here, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said, "It won't be accepted the way they (BJP) are disrespecting the Hindu gods." Patra on Monday had said that Odisha's most revered deity "Lord Jagannath is a devotee of Prime Minister Narendra Modi". He, however, later clarified that it was a slip of tongue and he wanted to mean that the prime minister was an ardent 'bhakt' (devotee) of Lord Jagannath.
