New Delhi [India], December 13 (ANI): Reacting to the Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s address in the Lok Sabha, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Manoj Tiwari on Friday said that all leadersof his party listened to her and that the Congress leaders must also learn to do the same. He further added that Priyanka Gandhi should not have not used the word coward during her maiden address in the Lok Sabha.
“The most important thing was that we listened to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s speech very carefully. All our MPs respected her a lot…The Congress must also learn to listen when our party leaders speak… There was nothing special in what she said… She (Priyanka Gandhi) perhaps unknowingly said a lot of bad things about the government of Himachal Pradesh…She said that the people of the country remove cowards, which is correct because the people of the country have removed Congress….” said Manoj Tiwari.
Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge lauded Priyanka Gandhi on her first speech in the Parliament saying that she presented the facts before the government about how the constitution is being “misused” and lack of women’s protection.
“Excellent speech. Very good. She put all the facts before the Government – how the Constitution is being misused and they are not protecting women and the people of this country…We are very happy about her performance,” Kharge said.
Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi called Priyanka Gandhi’s speech “Excellent.”
Wayanad MP Priyanka Gandhi in her maiden address in the Lok Sabha attacked the ruling government and said that in the last ten years, the Union government have made all attempts to break down the ‘kavach’ (shield).
Speaking during a discussion on the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of India, Priyanka Gandhi paid tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives while protecting Parliament in 2001.
“In the struggle of crores of Indians, in their strength to battle the toughest situations, and in their hope of justice from the country, the flame of our Constitution is burning. Our Constitution is ‘suraksha kavach’ (safety armour). Such a ‘suraksha kavach’ that keeps the citizens safe – it is a ‘kavach’ of justice, of unity, of Right to Express. It is sad that in 10 years, colleagues of the ruling side who make big claims have made all attempts to break down this ‘kavach’. The Constitution promises social, economic and political justice. These promises are a safety armour and work to break this has begun. Through lateral entry and privatisation, this government is trying to weaken reservation,” Priyanka Gandhi said.
“For one person everything is being changed. Today’s government has given all the cold storage to Adani ji, the apple growers in Himachal are crying because everything is being changed for one person. One person is being favoured and 142 crore Indians are being ignored. All the businesses are being given to one person, including railways, airports etc.” she said. (ANI)
