New Delhi: Senior Congress leader and MP Jairam Ramesh on Friday hit back at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, invoking former President Pranab Mukherjee stance on the Opposition's role in a democracy, which he said was "to oppose, expose and depose." Ramesh noted that Mukherjee, a Congress veteran, was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 2019.
His remarks came in response to Singh's allegation that the Congress and its allies were using youth-led protests against the Election Commission to fuel political unrest.
