NEW DELHI: Congress called Union minister Amit Shah‘s speech in the Rajya Sabha “bundle of lies” and said he came to the Parliament to praise PM Modi.
On Tuesday, Amit Shah addressed the Rajya Sabha during a discussion on the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India. While speaking at the Rajya Sabha, Shah launched a veiled attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He also slammed Congress for finding faults in the election whenever they lose.
Reacting to his speech, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge said that the union minister spoke lie about the Ambedkar statue.
“Today whatever Home Minister said is far from truth, it’s lie for example Ambedkar statue, was it built during their (BJP) tenure?…everything is a lie…they are trying to divert people through lies and it won’t go for long…he came to the Parliament just to praise PM Modi…” Kharge said.
While Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that in Lok Sabha ‘One Nation One Election’ has been introduced and in the Rajya Sabha it was ‘One Speech Many Speakers.’
He also said that in the last 90 minutes, Amit Shah didn’t gave the speech, he only attacked the Congress Party.
Congress MP Digvijaya Singh said, ” Few things he said about Pandit Nehru and reservation, he didn’t authentic and he didn’t say from where he got the reference and Chairman usually asks for authentication but today he didn’t. He (Amit Shah) kept lying…under double-engine govt, Muslims are being targeted and made to suffer openly…Amit Shah announced several times that they would return statehood to J&K but they want to bring in people from outside and people of J&K would not let that happen…”
Meanwhile, Congress MP Pramod Tiwari said that the Union home minister’s speech was just a “bundle of lies”
