BJP stages nationwide protests demanding Kharge apologise over 'baap' remark

Bharatiya Janata Party activists held demonstrations in several cities, including Bihar, Jammu and Bengaluru, after Mallikarjun Kharge made comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Local party leaders led the protests, which called on the Congress president to tender an official apology. Congress has backed Kharge, while the BJP argues that his remarks showed disrespect toward Modi and his family. The episode has sparked a wider national discussion about respect and decorum in political discourse.
