The BJP on Thursday hit back at the Congress for protesting police action against its spokesperson Pawan Khera , saying the o💝pposition party's leaders should not live in this &qu𒀰ot;misconception" that they are above the law and criticised them for their agitation on the Delhi airport tarmac.

"Whatever isꩵ done is done lawfully. Congress leaders should not live under this misconception that they are above the law," BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia told reporters.

He said the Congress is playing the "victim card" after using derogatory words against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his family members.

The BJP leader said Congress leaders "flouted law" by starting protests on Delhi airport tarmac and endangered the lives of fellow🌄 passengers. People w♓ere inconvenienced by the Congress' protests, he said.

"Modi enjoys the blessin⛄gs of more than 140 crore people of the country and 🔴abusing him is like digging a hole in which the Congress will fall," Bhatia said. People will teach the Congress a lesson, he said.

Cong༺ress leader Khera was Thursday arrested by the Assam Police at the airport here after being deplaned from a Delhi-Raipur flight in connection with his alleged derogatory remarks against the prime minister.

Khera had recently called him "Narendra Gautamdas Modi", in an apparent swipe at the prime ministe⛎r over the row involving business tycoon Gautam Adani. His full name is Narendra Damodardas Modi, with the middle name standing for his fa𝓰ther's name, a practice common in different parts of the country.

The BJP has targeted Khera for using the businessman's name as Modi's middle name and accused him of insulting the prime 🐈minister.
