Key Points
With Parliament witnessing yet another day of chaos and repeated adjournments on Monday, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor says the government is raising the Rahul Gandhi issue to avoid any discussion on the floor of the House, particularly on the government favouring a few corporates..
The Indian Express carried his statements in detail and it is clear he said that (what is happening in India) is an Indian problem and we have to sort it out in India, and that the rest of the world needs to be aware of this because Indian democracy is a global public good, Indian democracy is in danger and they (the world) cannot be indifferent..
Secondly they do not want to give Rahul Gandhi the floor again because of his uncomfortable statements regarding the governments crony capitalism and the undue favours granted by it to the friends of the Prime Minister and the ruling party..
The Congress has also called the muting of Lok Sabha TV last week while proceedings were on which was attributed to technical issues and the Delhi Police visit to Rahuls house Sunday as moves to keep the Opposition silent...
Because, to begin with, the inquiry itself is not warranted Look at the actual statement Rahul Gandhi made, that several women came up (to him) and said they had suffered extremely unpleasant experiences but did not want to go to the police because of various restraints in our culture and in our society..
