Kharge slams RSS’ ‘anti-national’ remark over CJP protest, calls out PM Modi’s absence in Lok Sabha

Congress’ Mallikarjun Kharge slammed RSS after Atul Limaye called the CJP protest at Jantar Mantar ‘anti-national’. He also questioned PM Modi’s absence in Lok Sabha. Over Ram Mandir donation row, he alleged BJP of disrespecteing the voters. Mallikarjun Kharge said, “We want the Prime Minister and the Home Minister to come to the House and present their views. What do they have to say? There is the issue of the missing funds. What is their position on it? Students were beaten, pellet guns were used, tear gas was fired, and every possible measure was taken against them. Why did this happen? For what reason? Both the Prime Minister and the Home Minister should take responsibility and make statements in the House. The Prime Minister is not even willing to come into the House, and that is an insult to the people who elected us. It is an insult to democracy... When the Prime Minister wakes up at 12 or 12:30, he posts his views on Instagram. Instead, he should come to the House and say the same thing, or call a press conference...This is an insult to Parliament and an insult to the people. The millions of people who voted for us, our alliance partners, and others want to know what is happening in Parliament and what the government's response is. But the government is not prepared to answer.”
