'Biggest joke I heard today': KC Venugopal reacts to Rijiju's 'Oppn won't be able to digest' Amit Shah remark
Responding to allegations that Home Minister was not attending Parliament, Kiren Rijiju claimed that Amit Shah comes to the Parliament complex every day.
Congress MP KC Venugopal expressed amusement at Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju's comment about the Opposition's inability to "digest" Amit Shah's reply in Parliament. As he was walking to his car, a reporter informed Venugopal of Rijiju's statement, to which the Congress leader rolled down his window and remarked, "The biggest joke I heard today is that."
Venugopal reiterated his sentiment, stating that the discussion on the examination bill allowed Shah ample opportunity to attend. Rijiju had defended Shah, claiming he was present in the Parliament complex daily, stating that the Leader of the Opposition was misleading the House. Congress leader Venugopal had previously criticized Shah's absence from Parliament, holding up a placard that listed his absence from July 21 to August 6.
Opposition leaders continued to pressure the government, demanding accountability for the alleged use of pellet guns and lathis during the Jantar Mantar protests.
