Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani has criticised Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on her speech on the Quit India movement during a special discussion in the Lok Sabha yesterday.
In her facebook post, Mrs Irani alleged that Mrs Gandhi used expressions such as – nafrat aur badle ki raajneeti, totally out of context to vitiate the atmosphere in the House.
She also said there are certain events in the life of people when their representatives are expected to rise above partisan considerations to tap into solidarity.
Mrs Irani said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was forward-looking, positive, unifying and gracious in his address as he exhorted people to rise above all kinds of differences, including those created by politics, to forge ahead by fighting poverty, injustice and terrorism.
