NEW DELHI: BJP on Friday slammed
Rahul Gandhi
as an immature and undemocratic leader and made light of the INDIA bloc’s protest at Jantar Mantar , saying the days of befooling people with such an agitation are gone as they now trust the guarantees of PM
Narendra Modi
.
With the opposition flaying the government for the suspension of its 146 MPs during Parliament’s winter session over their protests on the issue of security breach, information and broadcasting minister
Anurag Thakur
said all MPs should have spoken in one voice over such a sensitive matter but leaders like Rahul Gandhi are instead levelling false allegations.
Rahul Gandhi must apologise: Anurag Thakur on mimicry of Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar
INDIA bloc parties did not participate in discussions in Parliament over people’s issues and important bills and it seems that they have lost their mental balance following the drubbing they received in the recent assembly polls, he said.
BJP national spokesperson Sambit Patra said Rahul’s frustration after the poll losses is visible in his conduct. Is the way Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar was mimicked and “body-shamed” an evidence of ‘mohabbat ki dukan (shop of love)’ or ‘nafrat ki dukan (shop of hate)’, he asked and took a swipe at
Congress
for its “shop of corruption” by referring to the recovery of over Rs 350 crore in cash from firms linked to its MP Dhiraj Prasad Sahu.
Thakur accused INDIA bloc parties of insulting constitutional positions with the mimicry of Dhankhar and sought an apology from Congress. “Instead the lips of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul are sealed. They are hurling false allegations instead of offering an apology,” he said.
Jats and farmers will not forgive them for insulting Dhankhar, he added.
