New Delhi [India], December 15 (ANI): Union Minister Kiren Rijiju took a dig at Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi over her remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's speech, saying that she did not understand the "nuisances" and "deep meaning" of remarks made by the Prime Minister as "she was a newly elected MP."
Rijiju, Parliamentary Affairs Minister, said that Prime Minister Modi has stated facts and not given his opinion.
"It is something on which the PM has not given his opinion, he has stated the fact. I think Priyanka ji is a new MP, she may not understand the nuisances and deep meaning of what the PM stated. But we are all MPs and we have to respect the PM of the country," Rijiju told ANI.
He further said that the Gandhi siblings including Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi were from a family that cannot escape history.
"Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are from a family which cannot escape from history, how the Gandhi-Nehru family had compromised the provisions of the Constitution to suit their interests or for their political gain. So, I cannot make it much clearer than what the PM has already stated," Rijiju said.
This comes after Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday criticised PM Modi's speech in the Lok Sabha, calling it "absolutely boring" and devoid of anything new or constructive.
Speaking to the media, Priyanka Gandhi said, "PM Narendra Modi did not say anything new or constructive. He absolutely bored me. I thought he would say something significant, but he spoke about 11 hollow promises. If he has zero tolerance towards corruption, he should at least hold a debate on Adani."
Earlier, PM Modi launched a scathing attack on Congress on Saturday, accusing it of constantly disrespecting the Constitution and presented eleven pledges for India's bright future, noting that the government and people should follow their duties and the country's politics should be free of "parivarvad."
Responding to a two-day discussion in Lok Sabha on 75 years of the Constitution, PM Modi made repeated reference to the Nehru-Gandhi family, accusing every generation of its leaders of disrespecting the Constitution.
The two-day debate on 75 years of the Constitution started in Lok Sabha on Friday. (ANI)
