Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh reacted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's jibe at the opposition's INDIA alliance. Referring to BJP's connection with RSS, Singh said that 'their forefathers' organisation came out of the East India Company' and that 'they used to do slavery to the British'. He also asked why the Modi government's various schemes have 'India' in it.
"Their forefathers' organisation came out of the East India Company, used to do slavery to the British. Why is India there in the schemes of the Modi government?" the AAP MP said.
The remark came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi lashed out at the opposition and said that they are completely directionless. The PM also compared the 'INDIA' alliance with the Britishers' East India Company and terror bodies like PFI. He said that the opposition's job is to protest and asked his party leaders to 'focus' on work. He said that India has to be made a developed country by 2047. He made the remarks at BJP's Parliamentary Party meeting on Tuesday.
"...As the Britishers came and named themselves East India Company, in the same way, the opposition is presenting itself in the name of India," the Prime Minister said while taking a jibe at the opposition. In a sharp attack, the Prime Minister further said that even terror organisations like 'Indian Mujahideen' and 'Popular Front of India (PFI)' have 'India' in them.
The parliamentary party meeting of the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) took place on Tuesday amid the opposition's demand for a discussion and PM Modi's statement on the Manipur issue.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said that PM Modi told the BJP leaders that the opposition's conduct suggests it has decided to remain permanently in opposition for long, reported PTI.
Both Houses witnessed massive chaos and repeated adjournments as the opposition remained firm on its demand for a discussion over the Manipur viral video and sought PM Modi's statement on it inside the Parliament. AAP MP Sanjay Singh was on Monday suspended from the Rajya Sabha for 'obstructing' proceedings of the House that intensified opposition leaders' anger.
