Modi targets Congress in Lok Sabha speech

“You divided the nation for selfish gains”: PM blames Congress

In a blistering attack on Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today in parliament blamed the Congress for reason of partition. The country is “Still paying for the sins of the Congress.” added the PM.

His speech in the Lok Sabha included several scoffs at Rahul Gandhi, whose recent promotion as Congress president described as a “coronation, not an election.”

“Don’t lecture us on democracy. It was your party chief who tore up an ordinance and threw it in the faces of the media… It was your party chief who did not let young leaders get their points of view,”. Continuing to that he said, “The country was partitioned, the seeds of poison was sown. You divided the country for electoral and petty gains…people are suffering even today,”

The opposition party shouted slogans and attempted to disrupt the speech. Rahul Gandhi who was present in the house made puzzled gestures throughout.

Outside Parliament, Mr. Gandhi said, “He keeps talking about the Congress… yes, there is a place for it. You do it at a public rally, it’s perfectly fine, but not in parliament. Here you don’t criticize or raise questions on the Congress, here you answer to the people of the country.”
