Congress leader Anand Sharma in a heated argument in the opening discussion in Rajya Sabha, demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi to explain his comments alleging a threat to his life.

“Who is threatening you? Who wants to kill you, tell parliament,” Sharma said.

"He beat his chest and said I've given up everything. You go all around the world, what sacrifice is this? “Let us know who it is, we want a long life for the PM,” the former minister added.

Without taking any names, recently, Modi in a public meeting in Goa said, “I know the forces are against me, they may not let me live... they may ruin me because their loot of 70 years is in trouble, but am prepared.”

Not stopping there, he even raised demonetization issue, cursing the government for raising it. “I condemn the prime minister. He should apologize for saying that the poor people standing in queues for five-six days are scamsters,” Sharma said.

Aiming at Modi, he further added, “You have created an environment where you cannot ask questions. If you ask questions, then questions are raised on your patriotism. You said there has to be secrecy, or else, criminals and terrorists would come to know. You did not keep it secret. You leaked it selectively. BJP units deposited crores into banks before the ban.”
