‘Your history soaked in blood’: Smriti Irani rebuts Rahul Gandhi with Kashmiri Pandit genocide, Sikh massacre jibes
New Delhi: In a blistering attack on Rahul Gandhi for his “BJP has murdered Bharat Mata in Manipur” remarks in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, Union Minister Smriti Irani cited the 1984 Sikh massacre and 1990s Kashmiri Pandit genocide to say that the Congress party’s history was “soaked in blood.”
Assailing Congress MPs for clapping at Rahul’s “Bharat Mata has been murdered” comments, Smriti questioned the grand old party’s silence on ally DMK’s statement that Bharat only means Uttar Bharat and on one of their leader’s demands for a plebiscite in Kashmir.
“Rahul Gandhi spoke of the voice of India. Are the voices of Girija Tickoo, Sarla Bhatt, and Sikhs massacred in 1984 not the voices of India?” asked Smriti Irani, intervening in the ongoing debate on the no-confidence motion against the government.
Irani also recounted journalist Pranay Gupta’s accounts of the Sikh massacre saying small children were castrated in front of their mothers.
Citing crimes against women in Congress ruled Rajasthan, TMC ruled Bengal, Irani asked why the Congress did not speak on the brutal gang rape, dismembering and murder of a 14 year old in Bhilwara, whose mortal remains were recovered from a coal furnace.
“Their history is soaked in blood,” she said, attacking the Congress after Rahul spoke on atrocities against women in violence-hit Manipur.
The minister who had defeated Rahul Gandhi in his family bastion Amethi in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections also questioned his patriotism, mentioning the US media expose on Indian news site NewsClick being funded by Chinese sympathisers.
