"It's only a sick mind which can produce such bogus arguments," Jairam Ramesh tweeted.
The Congress on Friday hit back at Home Minister Amit Shah for linking the party's protests to the Ram temple foundation day, saying it was a desperate attempt to "divert, distract, polarise and give a malicious twist" to its democratic demonstrations against price rise.
"It's only a sick mind which can produce such bogus arguments. Clearly the protests have hit home!" Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh tweeted.
Speaking with reporters outside Parliament this evening, Mr Shah linked the Congress leaders' protest in black clothes over the issues of price rise and unemployment to the party's "appeasement" politics to convey its opposition to the Ram temple foundation laying by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on this day in 2020.
In a sharp retort, Mr Ramesh said the home minister has made a desperate attempt to "divert, distract, polarise and give a malicious twist" to the party's protests against price rise, unemployment and the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
