BJP MPs protest in Parliament

BJP MP’s belonging to Other Backward Castes (OBC) on Tuesday staged a protest in front of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue inside Parliament premises over the Modi surname remark by Rahul Gandhi and demanded an apology from the Congress scion over the contentious comment.

On Friday last, Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha, day after a Surat court convicted him in a 2019 defamation case and sentenced him to a two-year jail term.

The disqualification which will prevent 52-year-old Gandhi, a four-time MP, from contesting elections for eight years unless a higher court stays the conviction, has kicked up a political storm with the Congress staging a countrywide satyagraha on Sunday to protest the decision.

Meanwhile, the BJP isn’t relenting from its demand of an apology from the Gandhi scion for his Modi surname remark.

Earlier in the day, the saffron party targeted Rahul Gandhi against, saying that the former Wayanad MP “pretending not to be a coward” after previously apologising to the Supreme Court for the ‘Chowkidar Chor Hai’ jibe against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019.

Talking to newsmen at a presser, Union Minister Smriti Irani today said that Gandhi was convicted not for “abusing” an individual but the entire OBC community and “pretends not be a coward” when he already apologized to the Supreme Court in 2019 for his remarks against PM Modi.

Irani said that in his attempt to “insult” PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi also “insulted the entire OBC community and yet does not have the humility to “beg forgiveness” from them (OBC) which shows the “political arrogance” of the Gandhi family.

The BJP and the Congress have been involved in a political slugfest since a court in Gujarat’s Surat city convicted its Rahul Gandhi in a 2019 criminal defamation case and sentenced him to a two-year prison term, which led to his disqualification from Lok Sabha.
