On Rahul Gandhi's "2 Indias" Remark, BJP's "Indira Is India" Rejoinder

Listing 28 changes by the PM Modi government, Union Minister of Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi spoke on how the situation has changed since 2014 and the ruling of cuts, commissions have been stopped completely.

Union Minister of Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Thursday slammed Congress and the governments led by the party before 2014, saying they have to get out of "Indira is India" belief to understand that there are no two Indias.

Speaking on behalf of the BJP during an ongoing discussion on the Motion of Thanks to the President's address, Mr Naqvi said, "We need to get out of the hangover of thinking of Indira is India and India is Indira and Congress is the country and the country is Congress".

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday, criticizing the Presidential address that marked the beginning of the Budget Session of the Parliament, said the speech had no strategic vision and did not touch upon the main challenges that our country is facing currently including the growing gap between the extremely rich and the poor in the country.

Mr Naqvi also informed the House that the PM Modi-led government has ended the rule of "cuts, commissions, family politics, Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, and brought Citizenship Amendment Act to protect religiously persecuted people".
