New Delhi: Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi on Thursday slammed Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for his "continued disregard" for parliamentary institutions and said he repeatedly avoids meaningful debate in the House while choosing to make political statements on foreign soil.
Joshi said the Congress demanded a discussion on paper leaks and a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah, to which the government agreed, but the opposition "chose to walk away".
