Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress president and Leader of the Opposition, was speaking in Rajya Sabha today on India's glory at the Oscars. Congratulating the winners, he said it is a matter of great pride for India. He also pointed out the south India connection of the winners -- 'Naatu Naatu' song from RRR and the short documentary, 'The Elephant Whisperers'.
"We are very proud, but my only request is that the ruling party should not take credit and say 'we have directed, we have written, Modi ji has directed'. They should not say that. That is my only request," Mr Kharge said.
