Congress MP Manish Tewari, reacting to a question on PM Modi's comments about the East India Company and Indian Mujahideen while talking about the INDIA alliance formed by opposition parties, called the Prime Minister's comments as "unfortunate" and said that the opposition was not Indian Mujahideen but "Marjeevras" which means living martrys. The Congress leader also said that the PM was talking about the East Indian Company for those people who are successors of those who made the Company leave India. "Everyone knows who was involved with the Britishers," said Manish Tewari during the press conference.
