NEW DELHI, May 30: In a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi<\/a>, former prime minister Manmohan Singh<\/a> on Thursday accused him of lowering the dignity of public discourse and the gravity of the office of the PM by giving \u201chateful speeches\u201d during the poll campaign.
\nIn an appeal to voters of Punjab ahead of the seventh-phase of Lok Sabha polls on June 1, Singh asserted that only the Congress can ensure growth-oriented progressive future where democracy and Constitution will be safeguarded.
\nThe senior Congress leader also hit out at the BJP government<\/a> for imposing an \u201cill-conceived\u201d Agniveer scheme on the armed forces.
\n\u201cThe BJP thinks that the value of patriotism, bravery and service is only four years. This shows their fake nationalism,\u201d he said in a letter to voters of Punjab.
\nMounting an attack on Modi, Singh said, \u201cI have been keenly following the political discourse during this election campaign. Modi ji has indulged in the most vicious form of hate speeches, which are purely divisive in nature. Modi ji is the first prime minister to lower the dignity of public discourse, and thereby the gravity of the office of the prime minister.
\n\u201cNo prime minister<\/a> in the past has uttered such hateful, unparliamentary and coarse terms, meant to target either a specific section of the society or the opposition. He has also attributed some false statements to me. I have never in my life singled out one community from the other. That is the sole copyright of the BJP,\u201d the former prime minister said.
\nModi had accused Singh of saying that Muslims have the first right on the country\u2019s resources.
\nSingh said people of India are seeing through all of this. \u201cThis narrative of dehumanisation has now reached its peak. It is now our duty to save our beloved nation from these forces of discord,\u201d Singh said in the letter<\/p>\n
