Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on the continuing disruptions in Parliament (4th day on the trot) over the government demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi. 

"They (BJP) themselves are anti-national. They never took part in India's freedom movement. And they're calling others anti national. They are doing this to deviate attention from issues of unemployment and inflation. Can Rahul Gandhi ever be anti national? Are people who debate about democracy anti national? I condemn JP Nadda's statement. Why are they not giving Rahul Gandhi a chance to speak in Parliament?" asks Nadda. 

BJP president JP Nadda today said that Rahul Gandhi has become a "permanent part of the toolkit" working against India and said the Congress leader will have to apologise for seeking "interference" from foreign powers in India's internal affairs.

In a statement, Nadda said anti-India forces have always had problems with a strong India, its robust democracy and decisive government. By criticising the state of democracy in India and seeking the intervention of the United States and Europe on foreign soil, Gandhi has attacked the country's sovereignty, he added.

"Rejected repeatedly by people, Rahul Gandhi has become a permanent part of the 'toolkit' working against India," Nadda said.
