The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday called Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi as "unfortunate," adding that it does not represent the position of the government.

The development comes after Gandhi took a jibe at PM Modi during a poll rally in Amravati on November 16 and said he is also "losing his memory" like United States (US) President Joe Biden. The statements had received criticism from Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari as well as members of the medical fraternity.
