Congress president Rahul Gandhi Saturday said he held "no animosity" towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, citing the hug he gave him in Parliament last July.
Gandhi said he hugged the prime minister, despite Modi criticising his family in the House.
The Congress chief referred to the incident, which had created a flutter last year, in response to a question during an interaction with university students here.
"You (Modi) may have anger and hatred toward me, but it is not in my heart. I have love," Gandhi said.
"In reality, I hold no animosity towards him," the Congress chief said.
He also took a veiled dig at the prime minister, claiming that after the hug, "Modi felt how someone showed love to me (Modi)?"
