'If Needed, Drop Bombs On Ladakh...': Adhir Chowdhury On PM Modi Invoking 1966 Mizoram Air Raid In Lok Sabha
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Saturday said that if need be, bombs will have to be dropped.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Saturday said that if need be, bombs will have to be dropped in Ladakh. He said that if the government decides to drop bombs in Ladakh to remove the Chinese forces from there, Congress would not object. Chowdhury was responding to PM Modi's comment in Lok Sabha that Congress had the Indian Air Force drop bombs in Mizoram in 1966.
While addressing reporters, the Congress leader stated that a no-confidence motion was the last option because Prime Minister Narendra Modi was avoiding the Opposition while the situation in Manipur was becoming serious. "The opposition kept pleading in the House that the situation in Manipur is becoming serious, PM Modi should come to the House and present his point. PM Modi kept on avoiding us and then we brought no-confidence motion as the last option. Because of which the PM came and spoke in the house," Chowdhury said.
Chowdhury reacted to his suspension and said that he has been 'hanged' first and then will be undergoing trial, taking a jibe at the way he was suspended from the Lok Sabha. He also said that he might approach the court if he finds it can be resolved by the court of law. The Congress leader said that the recent suspension of leaders from Parliament is a phenomenon that he never witnessed in his entire political career. He added that his suspension order has been issued by the Speaker and so he cannot disobey it.
"I did not have even a remote objective disparage or tarnish anyone whosoever is in the Parliament. If anything stands unparliamentary, the Speaker has the right to delete or expunge but I don't know why for one or two words - which were misconstructed by them as an offensive ( I was suspended)," he said during a press conference in Delhi.
"They (BJP) may protest to the Speaker according to the provision of rules and procedures in our rule book and get it expunged," he said. He further said, "What I have experienced is a deliberate design by the ruling party to throttle the voice of opposition by resorting to various unsavoury instruments, which should not have applied to me."
