Taking aim at the opposition, he said, “They were deliberately looking to avenge their defeat in the elections. They were planning internally and they got the opportunity.”
He acknowledged that the breach in Parliament security is a big issue and said a committee has been formed and investigation is underway.
He also criticized the opposition on the mimicry controversy and said, “The Vice President (Jagdeep Dhankhar) was insulted. The Congress believes that it is only their right to rule. They believe that the Vice President should be the person nominated by them. They do not Can do. It is their mentality to insult Dalits, farmers and backward classes.
He also said that the action of opposition MPs at the Makar Gate of Parliament (imitating the Vice President) is a separate issue, but Congress MP Rahul Gandhi recording the video of that action and 'enjoying' it is unfortunate.
