Union Minister Kiren Rijiju launched a scathing attack on Rahul Gandhi and the Congress, alleging that they are coordinating with anti-India forces to weaken the country. He asserted, however, that no one can destabilise the nation under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
"What George Soros says is that one trillion dollars are kept to destabilise the Indian government. The anti-India Khalistan force sitting in Canada, the US, the UK, and many Left organisations are conspiring to work against the country. Rahul Gandhi and Congress are working in coordination with them and weakening the country. This is very worrisome. But rest assured that no one can destabilise the country under PM Modi's leadership," Rijiju said on Saturday.
Congress MPs Become Uncomfortable Whenever Rahul Gandhi Speaks
Rijiju further criticized Rahul Gandhi, saying that whenever he speaks, Congress MPs become uncomfortable, fearing he might say something inappropriate that the party would have to pay for.
"Rahul Gandhi is the LoP and I dont want to criticise him. The SC scolded him when he called the PM 'chor', spoke nonsense regarding Rafael, and claimed that China occupied our land. He should speak like an Indian. I am no one to improve Rahul Gandhi. He will not listen. Whenever Rahul Gandhi says something, all his MPs become very uncomfortable. They are afraid that they will speak nonsense, and the party would have to pay the price for it. In a democracy, the Opposition should be strong. They are not able to perform basic duties of an Opposition, let alone a strong Opposition," he said.
Congress Has No Interest In Parliamentary Discussions
Rijiju criticized Congress, saying it has no interest in parliamentary discussions and does not believe in debate, which prevents MPs from raising constituency concerns. He added that if Parliament does not function, the real loss is for the Opposition.
"Congress does not have any interest in parliamentary discussions. They dont believe in debate and discussion in the Parliament. Many MPs of the Congress and other parties came to me and said that because the Parliament is not running, they are able to present the concerns of their constituencies. If the Parliament does not run, the loss is for the Opposition. The government will pass the bills in the national interest. But it is not good if the bills are passed without discussion. We believe in discussion. The loss is for those who have to ask questions," he said.
