Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said he cannot reply to a "person who does not listen and does not sit in the House".
Taking a jibe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his criticism of the government in Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said he cannot reply to a "person who does not listen and does not sit in the House".
Speaking to news agency ANI, PM Modi said different ministries gave detailed answers on the questions raised by the Opposition in the Parliament.
Asked about Rahul Gandhi's questions on unemployment and the India-China issue, PM Modi said, "I have given facts on every subject and spoken on every subject on the basis of facts. On some subjects, our external affairs ministry and defence ministry have given detailed answers and wherever it was necessary, I had also spoken. How do I reply to a person who does not listen, and does not sit in the House?"
PM Modi stressed that his government believes in dialogue and does not attack anyone.
"We don't attack anyone, instead we believe in holding dialogue. At times, there are debates (vaad-vivaad), interruptions (toka-taki) (in Parliament), I welcome this and that is why I don't have any reason to be miffed (on these subjects)," PM Modi said.
During the Budget Session of Parliament, Rahul Gandhi attacked the Modi government over issues such as unemployment, India-China border dispute.
Following Rahul Gandhi's remarks, PM Modi had launched a scathing attack on the Congress in Parliament and also took potshots at former Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru.
