Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha over the Manipur issue, slammed Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, saying, “gud ka gobar kaise karna hai usme ye mahir hain.”
He further went on to criticize the West Bengal political scene and questioned why the Congress party has not ‘allowed’ Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury to speak in the Lok Sabha.
In his statement in Lok Sabha, PM stated that “Tallest leader in Opposition ranks not in list of speakers, Amit Shah’s magnanimity that he promised time to Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.”
In addition he further quipped “Shayad Kolkata se call aa gaya hoga.”
Meanwhile, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, a Congress Lok Sabha member, said on Thursday that it is time for divisiveness, communalisation, and saffronisation to leave India.
In an apparent attack on the Congress and the opposition coalition INDIA, he was replying to the BJP’s slogan on the 81st anniversary of the Quit India movement, which called for the abolition of dynasticism, corruption, and appeasement politics.
While hitting the Opposition’s I.N.D.I.A. alliance, PM stated that “During this no-confidence motion, we saw something bizarre. The name of the Leader of Opposition was missing from the list of those who would speak during the no-trust motion”.
In reference to the Mahabharata, Chowdhury stated that the king should not be blind to what is happening to women in Hastinapur or Manipur.
Home Minister Amit Shah reacted angrily, urging Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to instruct Chaudhary to exhibit restraint and maintain the House’s decorum.
Chowdhury answered by questioning why Shah was upset when the prime minister had no problems with his remarks.
