Congress leaders have a habit of maligning the country and putting the blame on others, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said on Thursday, amid a political row over Rahul Gandhi's remarks in the UK that structures of Indian democracy are under attack.
"Welcome to Parliament. It has been a week-long wait. Rahul Gandhi has maligned India from foreign soil, has spread lies and insulted Parliament. He should come to the House and apologise," the information and broadcasting minister said.

Mr Thakur recalled that former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi had called Planning Commission members a "bunch of jokers", while Rahul Gandhi had torn a government ordinance and dubbed it as "nonsense".
