Congress leader Jairam Ramesh attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, accusing him of playing the 'victim card' instead of apologizing for the alleged brutality against protesting students. Ramesh's remarks came in response to Modi's 'forgive youth' comment, which the Congress dismissed as an attempt to evade responsibility. The Congress leader also accused Modi of using 'vile vitriol' against his predecessors and political opponents. Ramesh referred to the prime minister as a 'self-declared non-biological' leader, taking a swipe at his political style. The Congress party has been demanding an apology from Modi over the handling of student protests, but the prime minister has not responded to the demand.
