BJP has also responded to the allegations and claims made by Rahul Gandhi of the opposition in the Lok Sabha in the press conference. BJP MP Sambit Patra said that Rahul’s allegation of not being allowed to speak in the House is wrong. Rahul was given a chance but he could not speak. Rahul Gandhi said that the Home Minister was talking to the policemen, he was talking continuously, did you see that? Were you sitting in his office? Where did you see it? Please tell me.
He said that he did not even know that the SDM Divisional Magistrate takes decisions according to the local situation. Rahul wants credit theft. Now they feel that CJP has scored a point? How did we get left behind? They are trying to take political mileage. BJP is of the opinion that Rahul Gandhi should apologize for what he has said in the Parliament because you have tried to misbehave in the House. You have tricked the House.
BJP said that it was PM Modi’s guarantee, he diligently formed a task force, which has experts from every field. Today Modi ji has made a strong law. Because Modi ji believes that work is useful in the end.
Rahul’s allegations- I was not allowed to speak in Parliament
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi held a press conference on Wednesday after his comments in Parliament and said that as you saw today, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha was not allowed to speak. Other people in the government were allowed to speak, but I was not allowed to speak. I was also assured that if I apologized, I would be allowed to speak further. The first thing is that I will never apologize to BJP, RSS or anyone associated with them. The second thing is that as the leader of the opposition, it is my right to raise issues important for the country.
He said, ‘The most important issue for me today is that our students were treated brutally on the streets of Delhi. Bullets were fired at them from pellet guns. Not only common sticks, but shock batons and nails studded with sticks were also used. Facial recognition technology is being used against them. Bajrang Dal is being mobilized to intimidate them, so that they cannot raise their voice again.
‘Those who opened fire on our students with pellet guns should be punished’
Rahul Gandhi further said, ‘We will ensure that the students who were beaten up get justice. We will ensure that those who fired at our students with pellet guns are punished. The opposition assures students that accountability will be fixed. While advising, he said that this matter should be investigated by an independent and empowered committee monitored by the Supreme Court.
He claimed that pellet guns were fired on the students who were protesting peacefully. I met a young man who was hit by shrapnel in his eye and may never be able to see again. Students were beaten with sticks studded with nails and women were also beaten. I wanted to raise this issue in the House, but I was not allowed to speak. I was told that if I apologized, I would be allowed to speak, but I also said that I cannot apologize for speaking the truth.
