BJP in continuation of it’s attack against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his comments against Indian democracy at Cambridge University has called for formation of a special committee to look into the renarks made by the Congress leader.
The proposal for the committee was given by a BJP MP Nishikant Dubey, who has recommended that the committee should help in ending Mr Gandhi’s membership from the Lok Sabha.
BJP has called the remarks made Rahul Gandhi at the Cambridge University as an insult to the democracy, Parliament and country’s institutions.
Mr Dubey suggested the idea of committee referring to the special committee of 2005, which had terminated the membership of 11 MPs in alleged scam.
He said, Mr Gandhi has continuously defamed the country and the parliament in America and Europe and now the time for is expulsion has come.
On Friday morning, 8 Union Ministers met the Defence Minist Rajnath Singh to draw the strategy to take action against Rahul Gandhi.
Congress’ continuous denial to offer apology demanded by the BJP over the remarks is one of the reasons behind the setback in the Parliament during the second half of the budget session.
Rahul Gandhi has also alleged that during the tenure of Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also attacked country and its achievements.
In his latest statement, Mr Gandhi has said that he hopes that he gets the chance to answer the allegations made by BJP against him. “But I don’t think they will let me speak,” he said.
“If the Indian democracy was functioning, I would be able to say my piece in parliament. What you are seeing is a test of the Indian democracy. Whether an MP is going to be given the same space as those four ministers were given when they raised allegations against me,” he further said.
Rahul Gandhi in his statements in question At Cambridge University had said that the Indian Democracy is under threat and the opposition voices are being silenced. “The institutional framework which is required for democracy — Parliament, free press, and the judiciary, just the idea of mobilisation, and moving around all are getting constrained. So, we are facing an attack on the basic structure of Indian democracy,” the Congress leader had said.
