Modi using martyrs for political mileage: Raj Babbar

Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Raj Babbar criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday for allegedly indulging in politics over martyrs, saying his predecessors never did that for electoral gains.

Addressing an election meeting here, Babbar said, "The children of farmers laid down their lives defending the country's borders while the people occupying the seats of power were playing politics over their martyrdom."
