NEW DELHI: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ravi Shankar Prasad on Friday alleged that the Congress party, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, is becoming a party of anarchy and engaging in politics of competition to divert public attention from the Vande Mataram row.
The BJP MP’s remarks follow the protest staged by Congress MP and the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi’s protest at the Parliament Street police station in the national capital, in which he demanded the registration of an FIR over pellet injuries sustained by a youth during the July 20 protest in New Delhi.
“It is very unfortunate that LoP Rahul Gandhi does politics of anarchy. Currently, he is sitting on dharna at Parliament Street Police Station without permission or prior information,” Prasad said.
Highlighting that judicial authorities have already established a high-powered committee to investigate the situation independently, Prasad said, “The police have informed him that an FIR has already been registered on the incident he is quoting, and it is being probed. The Supreme Court has formed a high-powered committee to probe into this. Rahul Gandhi, don’t you want to respect any law? We suspect and allege that Congress is now stuck due to its stance on the national song Vande Mataram. We condemn what the Rahul Gandhi-led Congress is doing right now.”
