Home Minister Amit Shah has attacked former Congress President Rahul Gandhi for his continuous criticism of government over Ladakh standoff issue. In an interview to news agency ANI, Shah accused him of doing what he called shallow minded politics over the issue and making remarks liked by China and Pakistan.
He asserted that government is ready for a robust debate in Parliament over the issue from 1962 India- China war onwards till now. He said that the government is fully capable of handling anti-India propaganda but it is painful when a former President of such a big political party indulges in such kind of politics at a time of crisis.
“It is a matter of self-introspection for him and Congress that his hashtag is being taken forward by Pakistan and China. It is not for me. It is a matter of concern for Congress that hashtag of their leader is being encouraged by Pakistan and China. You say what China and Pakistan like. And at this time of crisis,” said Shah. He also took on Congress for not appointing anyone apart from the members of Gandhi family its president. “After Advaniji, Rajnathji, Nitinji, Rajnathji again, I became (party president) and now Naddaji. Is there a member of the same family? After Indiraji, tell me a Congress President who is outside the Gandhi family. What democracy they talk about?” said Shah.
On COVID -19 situation in Delhi, Shah disagreed with Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s comments on the number of possible cases. He said national capital will not have 5.5 lakh cases by July end. He said Sisodia’s remarks had made fear among people and expressed confidence that the stage will not be reached. He also said that there is no community transmission of the disease in the national capital.
