Delhi: Rahul Gandhi addressed the MPs in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday on the Day 2 of the no-confidence motion debate. Gandhi started his speech by thanking the Speaker for reinstating his Lok Sabha membership.
Gandhi Continues His Address Amid Loud Sloganeering
Shortly after his speech began, the BJP caused an uproar by sloganeering about Quit India day. The Wayanad MP then gave a befitting response to the chaos and said, "BJP members do not need to get afraid as I am not going to speak on Adani."
He then asked the BJP leaders to lower the sloganeering and let him speak, stating that he won't go on them with aggression but will attack them lightly. "I won't be very aggressive on you but will fire 1-2 salvos," said Gandhi.
Continuing with his address, Rahul Gandhi invoked Rumi. The Congress leader said, "Jo shabd dil se aate hai woh shabd dil mein jaate hai, toh aaj main dimag se nahi dil se bolna chah raha hun" (The words that come from the heart go to the heart, so today I want to speak from the heart and not from the mind).
Gandhi Speaks On Bharat Jodo Yatra
Gandhi mentioned his experiences from the Bharat Jodo Yatra. "I travelled from the shores of the seas to the ice-covered mountains," he said. He also expressed that he felt an emotional connect with each person he met, he talked to during the yatra. He emphasized the impact that the yatra made on him giving him the reflection of the reality in the society.
Gandhi Mentions Manipur Crisis
Further extending his attack on PM Modi and the BJP government, Rahul Gandhi mentioned the most crucial issue in the no-confidence debate, the Manipur violence. While mentioning about his visit Gandhi slammed PM Modi, for he hasn't visited the riot-hit state yet.
"I went to Manipur a few days ago but the PM hasn't visited the state yet. For PM Manipur is not Hindustan," said Gandhi. "PM has split Manipur into two parts," he added. He also stated that the BJP had murdered Hindustan in Manipur.
