New Delhi [India], July 2 (ANI): Union Minister and Janata Dal-United (JDU) leader Lallan Singh on Tuesday took a dig at the Congress leader and Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi for his remarks in the Parliament against the central government led by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
Singh said that the Congress leader might have become the LoP, but he is still “immature”.
While speaking to ANI, Singh said, “Rahul Gandhi is still immature. He might have become the LoP but he is still immature. He was speaking as if he were addressing a public rally. There were no facts or truth.”
The Union Minister further said that Rahul Gandhi levelled allegations against the centre.
“He just levelled allegations against the centre. He is the LoP now, should act like a mature person”, he stated.
After Rahul Gandhi’s remarks against the central government led by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) created a political uproar in the country, several portions of his maiden speech were expunged from the records of the Parliament.
The portions expunged include his comments on Hindus and PM Narendra Modi-BJP-RSS among others.
Rahul Gandhi in his speech in Lok Sabha on Monday afternoon, during the debate on the motion of thanks on President Draupadi Murmu’s address accused the BJP and RSS of preaching and spreading violence and hatred. His remarks drew protests from the treasury benches.
The Bharatiya Janata Party – led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh among others stood up to express their protest and rebut the Congress MP’s remarks.
The NDA leaders accused the Congress MP “of speaking lies, misleading the House and terming the entire Hindu community violent”.
The Congress hit back with counter-allegations against the Modi government.
Rahul Gandhi invoked Lord Shiva, Prophet Mohammad, Guru Nanak, Jesus Christ, Lord Budha and Lord Mahavir, saying that he had taken the idea of fearlessness from their teachings.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Rahul Gandhi during his speech.
“Calling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter,” the Prime Minister said.
However, Gandhi supported his statement by clarifying that the BJP and the RSS are not representative of the entire Hindu community.
Meanwhile, PM Modi will reply to the debate over the ‘motion of thanks’ on the President’s address later today. (ANI)
