He said, Yesterday, “LoP Mallikarjun Kharge gave an indecent speech in Alwar. The language used is unfortunate. I condemn the manner in which he used indecent language, said baseless things and attempted to present lies before nation. I demand apology from him.”

The Union Minister brought pointed out that Mahatama Gandhi had asked for disbandoning the Congress after independence but it did not happen.

“Kharge ji is living example of that and is showing the nation that what Gandhi ji said was true and he’s a national president who doesn’t know to speak. Unless he apologises, he has no right to be here,” he added.

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju also denounced the remarks of Kharge and said, “I cannot believe that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge could stoop so low and use such objectionable remarks. He should understand his responsibilities as a leader of a political party. We’re not enemies, we’re rivals. It’s distasteful, unfortunate and uncalled for.”

Meanwhile, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affiars and BJP leader Prahlad Joshi reiterated his “Duplicate Congress” remarks.

He said, ” …I don’t want to speak much about it. But what is Kharge thinking about himself and his party? This is duplicate Congress. Mahatma Gandhi had said about disbanding Congress. Rahul Gandhi is going ahead in getting that done soon”

Mallikarjun Kharge Speech In Alwar 

In a veiled attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party, Kharge commented on their participation in the freedom struggle, asking “even if their dog sacrificed his life to get independence.”

He said, “…We gave freedom to the country and Indira and Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed their lives for the unity of the country. Our party leaders gave their lives, what did you do? Has anyone in your house even died for the country? Has (someone) made any sacrifice? No.”

Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge made the controversial remarks in a public rally held during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Alwar district of Rajasthan. During the public address, Congres’s former chief Rahul Gandhi and Rajasthan Cheif Minister Ashok Gehlot were also present.
