PM Modi more concerned about NRIs than resident Indians: Sibal </br><br> Narendra Modi was today the target of attack of Congress which took serious exception to his remarks abroad on the lament among some people about their "misfortune" of being born in India and said he is "more concerned about NRIs than resident Indians." "We are really pained over the remarks as no leader in independent India has ever made such a statement", former Union Minister Kapil Sibal said at the AICC briefing. Taking a dig at the just-concluded three-nation tour of the Prime Minister, Sibal said "he is more concerned about non-resident Indians, than resident Indians". He utilised and twisted a Mukesh song from the 1958 Hindi film "Madhumati" to drive home the point: "Suhaana safar aur ye mausam haseen, janta keh rhi hai, 'humein darr hai hum kho na jayein kahin".
