Government Criticizes London Comments by “Rahul Gandhi, In Shameless Way”

Rahul Gandhi‘s comments in front of the Lok Sabha were denounced by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, who demanded an apology from the former head of the Congress.

Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about “Indian democracy coming undone” in the UK have caused a new flashpoint in parliament today, according to New Delhi. The Opposition charged that the BJP, which is in power, was attempting to deflect attention from the Adani-Hindenburg dispute by demanding his apology.

Here are 10 facts on this big story:

1. Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, criticised Rahul Gandhi for his comments in the Lok Sabha shortly after lawmakers gathered for the second round of the Budget session and demanded an apology from the former Congress leader.

3. Union Minister Piyush Goyal called it “shameful” that a senior leader had disparaged India’s democracy on foreign territory in the Rajya Sabha.

Lawmakers from the opposition demonstrated in front of the house. The Lok Sabha was adjourned as a result of the pandemonium.
