Shatrughan Sinha said that PM Modi wasn’t able to make an eye contact with Rahul Gandhi 

TMC leader Shatrughan Sinha spoke on Anurag Thakur’s recent remark on Rahul Gandhi’s caste.

Recently, in the Lok Sabha, many eyebrows were raised when BJP MP Anurag Thakur allegedly made a remark on Rahul Gandhi’s caste during a discussion on the Union Budget. However, the same hasn’t gone down well with leaders in Congress and other parties. Now, Shatrughan Sinha, a TMC leader, has also reacted to the same.

What did TMC leader Shatrughan Sinha say?

On Wednesday, Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi couldn’t make eye contact with Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha. He reacted to the controversy triggered by BJP MP Anurag Thakur and said asking about Rahul Gandhi’s caste was wrong. Shatrughan Sinha said, “It was wrong. It is wrong to ask about the caste of a powerful, popular leader of the opposition, Rahul Gandhi. You cannot ask about caste like this. We are trying to make Anurag Thakur understand, who is also our own.”

Shatrughan Sinha spoke about how the BJP isn’t facing an old Opposition.

Adding further, Shatrughan Sinha said, “This is not the Opposition of the past, the government is also not like the one it used to be. The PM is not able to make eye contact with the Leader of the Opposition when the LoP is daring him. This is a fragile government. If they continue like this, it would be problematic.”

On Tuesday, Anurag Thakur triggered a row when he remarked that those whose caste was unknown talked about a caste-based census. After receiving backlash, he said he didn’t name any person. However, LoP Rahul Gandhi claimed Thakur insulted and abused him but would not accept an apology from him.
