Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia today tore into the Opposition, mocking the INDIA bloc and saying those who brought the no-confidence motion do not have confidence in it.
He also responded to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s verbal attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday. “Yesterday, Rahul Gandhi said that for the Prime Minister, Manipur is not a part of India. This Prime Minister has connected the Northeast with the world, he has a close relationship with the Northeast. The ideology of seeing India divided is yours, not ours,” said Scindia, a former Congress leader known to be close to Mr Gandhi.
“I have spent 20 years in Parliament, but I have never seen something like this. The man on country’s highest post, the Prime Minister who resides in the hearts of 140 crore Indians, the words used for him by the Opposition. I believe they will have to apologise before the people of the country, if not before Parliament,” he said in Lok Sabha during the debate on the no-confidence motion against Narendra Modi government.
“This no-confidence motion is not about Manipur, it is a pretext under which they are trying to bake their political cakes.
The Prime Minister made a sensitive statement on the Manipur situation outside Parliament, but they are stubborn that he must speak inside the House,” the Civil Aviation Minister said.
