Mani Shankar Aiyar compares BJP to Hitler, Mussolini

August 07, 2013 18:22

Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar on Wednesday compared the BJP behaviour in Parliament to Adolf Hitler and Mussolini, saying that the opposition party is mimicking fascism by continually disrupting Parliamentary Sessions.

"There is no difference between Adolf Hitler and the BJP. Yes, there is one big difference that Adolf Hitler first came to power and then closed Parliament while the BJP is closing Parliament in the hope that they will come to power.

"Their intent is clear, which is that they do not believe in democracy or its institutions. They want to carry on as they like. I hope, though it is getting harder to believe, that some discipline is instilled in Parliament,' Aiyar said.
