New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to desist from making utterances igniting religious passions and insteaf work for the unity of the people and the country.

Congress spokesman Anand Sharma said the prime minister has the habit of distorting history through his speeches but now he, along with BJP president Amit Shah, were speaking the language of polarization.

Modi and Shah are “igniting religious passions through their utterances”, Sharma said, reacting to Modi flagging of the “Run for Unity” on the birth anniversary of the country’s first deputy prime minister and home minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

Recalling that it was Patel who worked for bringing together various states after the independence of the country, Sharma said it was he who had banned the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) after the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi by Nathu Ram Godse.

Sharma said Patel had banned RSS after Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination it should also be mentioned in the inscription plate of the huge statue of the Patel being installed in Gujarat.

Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
