The Congress on Thursday said that the Opposition managed to get Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the floor of the Lok Sabha but questions regarding justice for the people of Manipur remained unanswered as Mr. Modi is gripped by “Congress-phobia”.
Addressing reporters after walking out of the Lok Sabha after about 90 minutes into the Prime Minister’s speech, Deputy Leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi — who had moved the no-trust motion — claimed that the Prime Minister kept speaking only about his party and the Opposition, rather than focusing on Manipur in his two-hour-long speech.
“... In these two hours, all he did was to twist the name of our country — India. There is a Congress-phobia inside that we can see because the Prime Minister spent most of his time blaming the Congress party,” Mr. Gogoi said. He accused the BJP of “fake nationalism” and being “unpatriotic”.
