08 Feb 2022 Evaluate

Congress MPs have walked out of Rajya Sabha (RS) during Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi's address in the House. PM was replying to Motion of Thanks on the President's address in RS. Veteran Congress' leader, Mallikarjun Kharge has said, ‘We've walked out of the PM Speech on Motion of Thanks because instead of speaking on President's Address he accused Congress.’

During his address, PM said that Congress's thinking has been hijacked by 'urban Naxals'. He said that if there was no Congress, there would be no Emergency, no caste politics, Sikhs would never have been massacred and Kashmiri Pandits would not have happened. PM said the democracy and debate are ongoing for centuries in India but Congress never thought beyond a dynasty. PM also suggested changing the name of the Indian National Congress to the 'Federation of Congress.'
