Slamming Rahul Gandhi for “insulting India in London,” Defence Minister Rajnath Singh urged in Lok Sabha on Monday that the Congress leader “apologise before the House.”
“Rahul Gandhi, who is a member of this House, insulted India in London. I demand that his statements should be condemned by all members of this House and he should be asked to apologise before the House,” Singh said in the lower house of the Parliament.
At a recent conversation at Chatham House in London, Gandhi said that the microphones of opposition leaders in Parliament are frequently hushed. He levelled various charges against the BJP-led administration at the Centre.
Gandhi even said that Europe and the United States are not doing enough to restore democracy in India because they benefit from commerce and investment from the country.
The Congress leader also said that the country’s institutions were under attack.
“It shocked me how successful they have been at capturing the different institutions of our country. Press, Judiciary, Parliament, and Election Commission are all under threat and are controlled in one way or the other,” Gandhi said.
He also termed the RSS a “fundamentalist” and “fascist” organisation alleging that it has captured pretty much all of India’s institutions.
