Hitting back at Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge over his remark that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hoist the tricolour at his home next year, AIADMK leader M Thambidurai on Wednesday said the whole of India was the PM’s home and he will raise the national flag at Red Fort next Independence Day. The leader of the AIADMK, which is a partner in the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at the Centre, said, “The whole of India is PM Modi’s home. He doesn’t have a family of his own and, hence, considers fellow countrymen as family members. Therefore, Red Fort is the only place in the country where he can and will raise the national flag. Kharge may have his own family but for PM Modi, the entire country is his home and family. So, what Kharge said is correct. Red Fort is his (PM Modi’s) house and he will hoist the national flag at his house next year as well.”
