No person holding public office can utter such remarks. But since he has denied making such comments, the matter should be closed. The media has one standard for Modi-they magnify whatever he says or does and twist things out of context and on the other hand, treat Madame Sonia with kid-gloves. All her bloopers and bloomers go unreported. What double standards!
This does not mean that Modi's policies are justified or correct and I am no supporter of Modi, but there is no necessity demonify him and pounce on his every word.
After all, the late Rajiv Gandhi is on record saying 'When a tree falls, the earth shakes' when anti-Sikh riots were raging in the country. Does anybody in the media remember that now?

Is is befitting to his political level for a Congress leader like one Digvijaysingh to lebel Modi an equal to a "Hindu terrorist" but is this also befitting for an imported (on the grounds of nationality by birth and community by birth) Congress leader like Sonia Gandhi, who expects the PM of India should consult her on important national issues in her capacity of chairperson of ruling UPA, to lebel rulers of Gujrat, which includes Modi also, as a "traders of death" and then retreating back through party spokes-persons that she did-not mean it that way ? If she really did-not mean it that way, has she lost courage to admit it from the similar platform wherefrom she alleged the word "traders of death" ? It is just like a print-media tactics of mud-slinging in bold headings and withdrawing in micro prints. Have we national leaders of any worth or all they are puppets of nasty opportunism ? It is a henious intellectual crime, although may fetch some votes. Now it is turn of election commission to establish itself as an impartial body that decides above political gimics of elections. Let us see, how the EC reacts !

You are correct Mr.Kumar. Indian visual and print media is still toxicated with wealth, wine and women.Their aim is to send their children to USA/UK/Australia for studies/jobs and spend their own old age here in india just to spoil indian culture,traditions and customs by supporting Cong-I in the name of secularism.
