The government has been unrelenting in its attack on Rahul Gandhi over his comments.
The impasse in parliament in parliament over Rahul Gandhi's comments on Indian democracy at the Cambridge university, the Adani-Hindenburg row and the opposition allegations of misuse of Central investigative agencies is likely to continue through the second half of the budget session, sources have indicated.
The government -- whose top priority in this session is to pass the finance bill -- has been unrelenting in its attack on Mr Gandhi over his comments.
Today, Union minister Smriti Irani launched a scathing attack on the Congress MP, saying Mr Gandhi, during his visit to Jammu, had given contradictory comments.
"He stated while his travel to the UK that democracy was being blown to smithereens. However, this very gentleman in Jammu, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra, said, 'All is well in India'. Which was a lie, Mr. Gandhi? Your statement in India, or your statement in the foreign country?" Ms Irani said.
