Congress slams PM Modi for taking dig at opposition alliance

The Congress hit back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday over his remarks targeting the opposition alliance, with Rahul Gandhi saying "call us whatever you want", but "we are INDIA" and will rebuild the idea of India in Manipur.

Speaking in the Rajya Sabha, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said while "we are talking about Manipur, which is burning", the prime minister is "talking about East India (Company) and saying INDIA means East India (Company)".The Congress party has always been with 'Mother India' i.e. 'Bharat Mata'." "The slaves of the British were the political ancestors of the BJP. Prime Minister Modi, stop diverting the country's attention with your rhetoric. Narendra Modiji, speak about Manipur in Parliament, do not belittle the dignity of the prime minister's post by calling INDIA, that is Bharat, good or bad," the Congress president said.

Leader of the House Piyush Goyal and Leader of the Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge exchanged barbs in the Rajya Sabha over the debate on Manipur on Tuesday with Kharge demanding the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Goyal saying atrocities on women in opposition-ruled states will also be discussed in the House. Kharge said over 50 members have given notices for discussion on the Manipur issue under Rule 267, but the government is not ready. 

Goyal countered him by saying Union Home Minister Amit Shah is ready to have a discussion on issues related to atrocities on women in Rajasthan,  Chhattisgarh, Telangana and West Bengal.

Terming the opposition's remarks "pointless", Goyal said if they have some points, then they would have started the discussion.
