New Delhi: After Rahul Gandhi At the end of his speech in the Lok Sabha on Friday, “a riddle was posed” for MPs to consider “what happened on April 16”, bjpof Nisikant Dube Neta stood up and rebutted Congress, saying April 17 was an important day.Although former cabinet minister Anurag Thakur proposed a House rule that a speaker must be present and listen to the next speaker after finishing his speech, Gandhi had already left the Assembly by then.“On this very day, Rajiv Gandhi was charged in the Bofors (bribery) scandal,” Dube began, reminding Congress of its “dark history”.“On April 17, 1998, who pulled off the dhoti of Congress president Sitaram Kesri Ji, who was from the backward classes? Who pushed him out of the party’s Akbar Road headquarters?” Dubey asked.
He mentioned an example involving Socialist Party MP Yashvir Singh who was “beaten up” by Sonia Gandhi while opposing the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes quota bill in the House. “Congress has always insulted women, backward classes and untouchables; today it opposed the Women’s Reservation Bill – parties supporting Congress should learn from Congo’s history. In India, all have made progress through hard work, but Congress wants to make progress by dividing the country,” he added.Gandhi said at the end of his speech, which was punctuated by protests from finance ministers over his remarks, that he wanted to pose a difficult question to “all of you”.“Yesterday, the Prime Minister was low on energy. Suddenly, I noticed that today is April 16. Oh my God, how crazy! The number: sixteen. The whole answer to the riddle is 16. If anyone understands this, they should message me,” Gandhi said.
