The BJP workers felicitated Prime Minister Narendra Modi with chants of "Jai Modi," "Vande Mataram," and "Bharat Mata ki Jai" after the Prime Minister secured the trade deal with US President Donald Trump at the NDA Parliamentary party meeting underway in Parliament premises on Tuesday.
State's Home Minister G Parameshwara said the proposed legislation was not driven by political vendetta but was aimed at curbing hate speech and hate crimes.
Congress MP Manickam Tagore criticised PM Modi for saying the opposition was doing "drama," calling the remark unfortunate. He said the Congress was only asking for a discussion on alleged voter deletions and key public issues during the Parliament Winter Session.
