NEW DELHI: After a massive offensive that the government launched against it and its leaders in the Lok Sabha yesterday, the Congress today stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah were “suffering from an obsessive-compulsive disorder” over late Jawaharlal Nehru.
Congress chief whip in Rajya Sabha Jairam Ramesh took on Modi and Shah for their “attack” on Nehru, saying, “Yesterday in the Lok Sabha, both the HM and the PM once again showed that they suffer from what in medical language is called obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) when it comes to Jawaharlal Nehru. It is possible that this will be on display in the Rajya Sabha, too, today.”
Ramesh alleged that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister had no answers on their present-day “failures”. “They have no answers to legitimate questions that are being raised on their policies and actions. Instead of engaging in meaningful debate, they divert, distract, distort, and defame. The HM claimed to be a historian of sorts. He is India’s second greatest ‘distorian’. Top honours in this regard are reserved for the man qualified in Entire Poli(e)tical Science,” he said.
