Union minister Salman Khurshid has kicked up another political row by questionin g the clean chit given to BJP's

prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi by a low er court in 2002 Gujarat riots. A magistrate's court has not summoned him... It is true... It s like a nursery stud ent getting a good grade and thinking that he has become a doctor and goes aroun d claiming to be a PhD. How can that happen? Khurshid said on Tuesday. Khurshid had last month called Modi impotent . Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi later disapproved of the Union minister s language. The foreign minister then cla rified his statement, insisting he did not cross a line as he meant administrativ e incompetence . Speaking about the controversy over a claim that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assang e endorsed Modi as incorruptible , he said, I don't understand that someone who is s o confident why does he need to go around seeking support to establish his domina nce. I am surprised. When there is a rebuttal, they (BJP) say they don't need a c ertificate from WikiLeaks, he added. BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar countered Khurshid s charge, saying Muslims and all other sections of the society left the riots behind in Gujarat. "In desperation and frustration, Congress' Salman Khurshid is using such languag e which we condemn," he said on Wednesday. "They want to keep the issue alive be cause they have nothing else to talk about," he added.
