As the government tried to corner the Congress in Parliament Monday by attacking Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in London on Indian democracy, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge reminded the BJP about some remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visits abroad..

While the Opposition remained united in attacking the government over its alleged misuse of Central agencies and the Adani Group affairs the Opposition wanted discussions on both issues in Parliament some of the parties spoke in support of Gandhi and his remarks, but some did not...

The larger Opposition refrain was that the government was using the Rahul issue to disrupt the House and avoid discussions on the issues that the Opposition wanted to raise.. Addressing a press conference with several Opposition leaders, Kharge said the BJP was crushing democracy in India...

Arre gandagi to aap kar rahe hain you are destroying democracy, ruining the Constitution, using agencies to throttle and crush the voice of the Opposition These people are talking about democracy, nationalism and the countrys pride First see the mirror of truth before lecturing the Congress party, Kharge said...

That is why the BJP is disrupting the House, TMC floor leader in Rajya Sabha Derek OBrien said.. Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said the decision to allow Leader of the House in Rajya Sabha Piyush Goyal to attack Rahul Gandhi, who was not a member of the House, proved that Gandhi was right in saying that the Constitution and democracy were being bypassed in the country..
