200 DU teachers issue statement condemning Modi's remarks on former PM Rajiv Gandhi

Over 200 Delhi University teachers have issued a public statement condemning Prime Minister Narendra Modi for making "derogatory and untrue" remarks about former PM Rajiv Gandhi.

Their statement came after Modi had in a rally on Saturday targeted Congress president Rahul Gandhi on the Rafale issue and said "your father was termed 'Mr Clean' by his courtiers, but his life ended as 'Bhrashtachari No 1' (corrupt number 1)."
Praised the teachers for taking a stand, Pitroda said: "I personally admire such teachers who personally stand up for the character.... They on their own took a stand and these are courageous people and I admire them for taking a stand."
