Union Minister Anurag Thakur takes jibe on Congress Party and Rahul Gandhi, says “If they haven’t done any corruption then why fear”
Union Minister Anurag Thakur lashes out by questioning Rahul Gandhi’s act and allegations against the police, while protesting.
Congress’ Rahul Gandhi protested with an aim to march towards the Parliament House and the party was furious when Sonia Gandhi, president of party, was being held accused by the ED relating to the National Herald Newspaper case.
“If they haven’t done any corruption then why fear and if they have done then they should face the probe agencies,” Thakur said.
Further, he claimed that Congress was stirring up trouble in Parliament while also reportedly engaging in corruption.
The Union Minister further up his criticism of the opposition party, claiming that the BJP formerly agitated against the Congress party but is now doing so to protect the corrupt.
“I would like the opposition members to come and discuss this in the House. Government is ready for discussion from day one and will be ready in future as well,” Thakur said.

The chief ministers of states where the Congress party is in power were also mocked by Thakur for “camping” in Delhi and protesting rather than upholding law and order in their home states.
“Incidents of rape, murder are being reported from Congress-ruled states, but their CMs are camping in Delhi instead of maintaining law and order in their respective states,” Thakur said.
He said there are rising incidents of rape, murder and other crimes, and administrative lapses in states. “The situation is worrisome in Rajasthan, but the chief minister is spending time here,” Thakur said.
