On Jharkhand Minister Irfan Ansari's statement, BJP National Spokesperson CR Kesavan said, "Congress Minister Irrfan Ansari's comment on senior leader Sita Soren is unforgivable, indefensible and extremely deplorable.

Does it mean that the Congress and Rahul Gandhi in a way approve of this kind of abuse? "
