“Rahul Gandhi attended 2 of 14 meetings of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence in the last year & a half”, says Prakash Javdekar(Video)

Prakash Javdekar on Thursday hit out at former Congress president Rahul Gandhi after he along with his party MPs walked out of a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Defence

New Delhi: Prakash Javdekar on Thursday said that Rahul Gandhi walked out of a Parliamentary Committee on Defence. Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said that Rahul Gandhi has only attended 2 meetings out of the 14 meetings in the past one-and-a-half years and then he complains “why the important issues not discussed in the meeting.”

When Rahul Gandhi was in power during the UPA rule, he had torn a cabinet decision and had thrown it away in the dustbin. That is how much respect he has for Constitutional procedures, said Prakash Javdekar.

Rahul Gandhi should learn to respect constitutional institutions or else his role in democracy will become negligible.

 

Congress leaders alleged that the panel’s time was being wasted in discussing armed forces’ uniforms instead of the crucial issue of national security, sources told news agency PTI.
