Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday launched a sharp attack on leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of disrupting parliamentary proceedings, avoiding discussions on substantive issues and turning walkouts and protests into the Congress party’s political culture.
Shah asserted that Parliament is the supreme forum for democratic debate and criticised Gandhi for taking political confrontations to the streets instead of engaging in discussions inside the House. For the third consecutive time, the people of this country have elected Narendra Modi as Prime Minister with a massive mandate. “In a democracy, Parliament is the supreme forum for debate; yet, Rahul Gandhi, you do not allow Parliament to function. You refuse to engage in discussions on substantive issues, having instead turned the creation of a ruckus and the staging of walkouts into the very culture of the Congress party. Rahul ji, we are the people of the streets. The BJP will provide a fitting response to you in Parliament, in the Legislative Assemblies, in our villages, and in our fields; and should you choose to gather crowds, BJP workers will be there to give you a befitting reply.
At BJP’s ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ foot march in Karnal, Amit Shah highlighted the mandate received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the 2024 elections and accused the Congress leadership of converting legislative disruption into standard party culture. Since 2024, the Congress party has faced repeated defeats under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi,” he said, as quoted by ANI. “Do you truly believe that an 80-year-old democracy will fall for your deceptions?
You prevent Parliament from operating, choosing instead to gather crowds on the streets and spread anarchy, much like an anarchist,” he said. The ‘Save Democracy, Remove Anarchy’ rally has served to deliver a strong and decisive response to Rahul Gandhi,” he said. “Today, I want to explain why we have been compelled to organise this rally.
