Mangaluru, Nov 25: Veteran Congress leader and former union minister B Janardhana Poojary has exhorted the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband and give justice to the latter's wife.
Addressing media persons in the city on Tuesday the outspoken politician, who had earlier strongly condemned Mr Modi for not revealing marital status while filing affidavit for Gujarat Assembly elections, said that Mr Modi should call his wife back home.
Mr Poojary's bold remarks came a day after Mr Modi's wife Jashodaben filed an RTI application to seek clarity on security cover given to her at present and wanted to know what she is entitled to.
In her application, Ms Jashodaben sought several documents from the police department related to her security cover given as per the protocol, including the certified copy of actual order passed by government about providing security. She also wanted to know the laws and related provisions in Indian Constitution about security cover given to a PM's wife.
Urging the Prime Minister to understand the situation of Ms Jashodaben, Mr Poojary said that it is the responsibility of a husband to take care of his wife. “She may not be as beautiful and attractive as Mr Modi would like her to be. But she is his lawful wife,” Mr Poojary said.
Stating that Mr Modi became prime minister of India because of the prayers of his wife, Mr Poojary said that now it is time for the PM to correct his mistakes and invite his wife home. “If you have even a bit of compassion you must ask your wife to come home,” the veteran leader told the Prime Minister.
