"Person can't set their son, relative in politics...," Congress leader Udit Raj slams BJP MP Nishikant Dubey over jibe at Sonia Gandhi

New Delhi [India], August 9 (ANI): Congress leader Udit Raj on Wednesday hit out at BJP MP Nishikant Dubey for ‘Bete’, ‘damaad’ jibe at Sonia Gandhi and said that this is an insult to democracy as a particular person can't set their son, relative in politics. 
Dubey, on Tuesday, initiating his party’s debate on the no-confidence motion in Lok Sabha on Tuesday took a jibe at Sonia Gandhi and said that Sonia ji (Gandhi) is sitting here...I think she has to do two things - "Bete (son) ko set karna hai aur Damad (son-in-law) ko bhent karna hai" (She wants to set his son [Rahul Gandhi] and wants to gift his son-in-law).
"It is the people of the country who 'set' you. You need them in order to come to the Parliament, to come to power. This is an insult to democracy. A particular person can't set their son, relative in politics...They don't believe in democracy, so they made such petty remarks," Udit Raj said. 
"Did BJP not have a serious, educated leader who could have started the discussion. They made such a petty start, that people mocked it," he added. 
Responding to the last-minute change in the Congress speakers’ list Dubey took a dig at Rahul Gandhi and said that "Maybe Rahul Gandhi wasn’t ready today or maybe he woke late. Gaurav Gogoi spoke well. I am a victim of turbulent times of Manipur. My uncle suffered there and was injured.”
The debate on the no-confidence motion against the BJP-led government began with Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi initiating the debate. Gogoi stated that the opposition I.N.D.I.A alliance was forced to move the house due to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “maun vrat” (vow of silence) on Manipur.
Dubey also targeted Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on Savarkar and brought up the issue of the Supreme Court staying the Congress leader’s conviction in the ‘Modi’ surname defamation case after which the Wayanad MP’s membership in the Lower House was restored.
"The Supreme Court has not given a judgement. It has given a stay order...He is saying that he will not apologise… Secondly, he says "I am not Savarkar" - You can never be Veer Savakar...," Dubey said.
Opposition members have been seeking discussion under Rule 267 in the Rajya Sabha since the beginning of the monsoon session of Parliament on July 20.
Manipur had been on the boil for the last three months after ethnic clashes broke out between two tribal communities Meities and Kukis, when the Manipur High Court asked the state government to consider adding one of the communities to the list of Scheduled Tribes. (ANI)
