New Delhi (13/02/2022): Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday lashed out at the Congress party for prioritising ‘Gandhi parivaar’ above those who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
The Chief Minister highlighted that people should be loyal towards the country and not just a particular family.
“The Congress has developed an ecosystem and the people part of this ecosystem may tolerate things against India, but they will not tolerate anything against the Gandhis. Today, no one listens to them. People should be loyal to the country and not just a particular family,” Sarma told a news agency today.
His remarks came a day after Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Saturday had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Jagat Prakash Nadda to sack Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for his comments on the Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for questioning his parentage.
Addressing a public event, Rao had said, “PM Modi ji, is this the ‘sanskaar’ (etiquettes) or our Hindu ritual to question an MP about the identity of his father. This was done by your BJP Chief Minister. My head hangs in shame and my eyes are in tears after I heard this. This is not a good thing for the country.”
