Haven't spoken against India, will speak in House if allowed: Rahul


New Delhi, Mar 16 (IANS): At the centre of target of the government over his statement in London, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said that he will speak inside the House if allowed to and that he has not spoken anything which is anti-India.

Gandhi was smiling when asked by the reporters in Parliament whether he will apologise for his UK speech. He said, "I haven't spoken anything anti-India," he said.

Rahul Gandhi attended the second part of the Budget Session for the first time after it started on March 13.

Earlier in the day, both Houses were adjourned till 2 p.m. amid ruckus by the treasury and opposition members.

As soon as the Lok Sabha convened for the day at 11 a.m., the opposition members rushed into the well shouting slogans and showing placards, seeking a JPC probe in the Adani matter.

Treasury benches on their part, also were seen shouting slogans, seeking Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's apology for his remarks during his speech in London last week, where he had said that democratic values were under threat in India.

Amid chaotic scenes, Speaker Om Birla adjourned the lower house till 2 p.m.

Similar scenes played out in the Rajya Sabha too, as the opposition members rushed into the well, protesting over the Adani matter, as soon as the Upper House was convened for the day.

    So, the man is back, did not run away for fear of arrest (like Salwar Khameez chors) and demands be allowed to talk in the House. Modi government better permit it and listen to him if you guys challenge that he lied when he was in UK

    There shouldn’t be so much demand and fight with ruling govt to discuss serious national issues. Govt should cooperate and oblige as it’s sworn in constitutional duty and fix a time table for this discussion. Not doing so exposes the govt, it’s guilt and non transparency in governing whatever be the case or reason.

    "Democratic values were under threat in India."...............If Rahul has said this, then he was right. This is known to the common people also.

    Opposition needs to employ detectives to gather evidence on the clandestine activities of bajapa leaders in posts.... This is best if they hire legal private detectives to conduct sting operation.... most of the ministries are full of graft including defence... Govt is harping on non issues to divert public attention from serious lapses on governance, ethical standards and morality....
