"150 MPs Suspended, No Discussion On It": Rahul Gandhi On Mimicry Row
NDTV
The Congress has also alleged that an entire ecosystem is now being galvanised on the "mimicry non-issue".
As the row over a Trinamool Congress MP mimicking Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar and Rahul Gandhi recording the act continued to spiral, the Congress leader has said he had simply shot a video of the suspended MPs sitting in the Parliament complex and that the discourse is not focusing on the issues that matter.
Asked about Mr Dhankhar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP condemning the act and terming it an insult, Mr Gandhi said on Wednesday, "Who insulted whom, and how? MPs were sitting there, I took their video, which is on my phone. The media is showing something and saying something, PM Modi is making remarks... nobody has said anything."
On Mr Dhankhar claiming that the personal attack was an insult of his farmer background and of the Jat community to which he belongs, the Congress MP said, "They have thrown 150 of our MPs out of Parliament and there is no discussion about this in the media.... There is no discussion on unemployment. Our MPs are sitting there and are sad, and you are discussing that."
