"Modi is not respecting his family elders, how can he respect the elders of this country. It is for you people to think about it," Omar told a public rally here.
"We respect elders and seniors whatever is our religion, culture and tradition, but I feel sorry that Modi is not respecting them - whether it is L K Advani, Jaswant Singh or others ... One after another they have not been respected by him," he said.
Ridiculing BJP for the much talked about Modi wave, he said, "BJP has the habit of creating a propaganda of (Modi) wave in the country. They are in the habit of doing it. During Atal Bihari Vajpayee ruled NDA government they felt India Shinning wave. They advanced the elections and that election wiped out NDA government and they were forced out of power for 10 years."
"After UPA-I, they again resorted to such a propaganda that UPA and Manmohan Singh have failed. But what happened? Dr Manhohan Singh became the Prime Minister again," he said.
