Union Home minister Amit Shah today launched a scathing attack against the Congress over the disruption of the Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
Earlier today, the Lok Sabha had to be adjourned due to a ruckus by the Opposition parties, including the Congress, during Question Hour demanding a discussion on the clash between Indian and Chinese troops along the Line of Actual Control in Arunachal Pradesh on December 9.
Speaking to reporters in Parliament, Shah said that a glance at the questions listed for the Question Hour today gave away the real reason behind the Congress’ desperation.
In an apparent bid to blunt the attack against the government on the issue of Chinese aggression, the Home minister then sought to remind the Congress that the Ministry of Home Affairs cancelled the FCRA license of the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation since it received a grant of Rs 1.35 crore from the Chinese embassy in 2005-06 and 2006-07 against the FCRA rules, among other reasons.
Shah said that while the foundation was registered stating social work as its statement of purpose, the grant it received from the Chinese embassy was for research on improving Indo-Chinese ties.
“Did their research include how China usurped thousands of hectares of land during the 1962 war? Was it a subject of research how Nehru’s love cost India a permanent membership at the UNSC? Who was hosting members of the Chinese embassy when the bravehearts of the Indian Army were locked in a clash with their Chinese counterparts in Galwan?” Shah questioned the Congress leadership.
