Punjab BJP President Kewal Dhillon has targeted the Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), accusing their leaders of following “selective protest politics” on public issues.
Key Statements
Dhillon questioned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s absence from Ranchi following the lathi-charge on protesting students. “Rahul Gandhi raises issues in Delhi, but why did he not go to Ranchi? He also criticised the Opposition for boycotting Parliament, saying political parties have every right to question the government but should use the House to raise issues and demand answers.
The Opposition should explain this double standard,” Dhillon said. Dhillon said the Parliament boycott wastes public money and prevents important issues from being discussed. Dhillon accused Congress and AAP leaders of changing their stand according to political convenience. He further said that while the country is progressing under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, the Opposition should focus on constructive debate instead of boycotting Parliament and engaging in selective protest politics.
