Mani Shankar Aiyar suspended from the party for calling Modi 'neech'- Namaste English

After he sparked off a political broil by calling PM Narendra Modi a "neech aadmi", senior Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar has been suspended from the party's primary membership. Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to publicly censure this offensive remark. On the other hand, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley counterattacked Manishankar Aiyar, saying that his statement shows such a mentality that only an elite family can rule.

प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी को "नीच आदमी" बुलाकर एक राजनीतिक विवाद शुरू करने के बाद, वरिष्ठ कांग्रेस नेता मणिशंकर अय्यर को पार्टी की प्राथमिक सदस्यता से निलंबित कर दिया गया है। कांग्रेस के उपाध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी ने ट्विटर के माध्यम से इस अपमानजनक टिपण्णी की सार्वजनिक रूप से निंदा की। दूसरी ओर, वित्त मंत्री अरुण जेटली ने यह कहते हुए मणिशंकर अय्यर पर पलटवार किया कि उनका बयान ऐसी मानसिकता को प्रदर्शित करता है जिसमें केवल एक कुलीन परिवार ही शासन कर सकता है।
