Hours after Rahul Gandhi used unsavoury references for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah attacked him in the Lok Sabha and asked him to learn some manners of speaking from his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and other MPs of his party.“What kind of language was used in this House? Words like ‘kaayar’, phrases like ‘surrendered’, references such as ‘you are scared of me’. The Leader of the Opposition has a tea-biscuit party on the stairs of the Lok Sabha. Does he think the country is not watching or the people are not listening? Sometimes, he gives a flying kiss, sometimes he winks in the House. He ought to learn the manner and style of speaking in Parliament from other members of his party or at least from Priyanka. Sharpness and rudeness of expression don’t win hearts. By these utterances, you are presenting before the country your real face and that of your party,” Shah said, attacking Rahul, whose many expressions for PM Modi were expunged from the House records earlier on Friday. Speaker Om Birla ordered the removal after Defence Minister Rajnath Singh condemned the references and asked Rahul to apologise.
