"Why Did He Tear Manmohan Singh's Ordinance": Amit Shah Attacks Rahul Gandhi | Read

Union Home Minister Amit Shah raised questions over the moral stance of Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, asking whether it has shifted after losing three consecutive elections.

Mr Shah referred to the incident in 2013 when Mr Gandhi had 'torn' an ordinance brought by then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to reprieve RJD's Lalu Prasad Yadav, contrasting it with his current resistance to the proposed bill to remove the Prime Minister, Chief Ministers, and Cabinet Ministers jailed for more than 30 days.

In an exclusive interview with ANI, Mr Shah said, "Why did Rahul Ji tear the ordinance that Manmohan Singh brought to protect Lalu Ji? If there was morality that day, then what happened now? Just because you have lost three consecutive elections? Morality's standards are not connected with victory or loss in elections. They should be steady like the Sun and the Moon."
