The Union minister responded to Rahul Gandhi alleging ‘Bharat Mata’ being expunged from his Lok Sabha speech as ‘unparliamentary word’.

Unparliamentary words and not ‘Bharat Mata’ has been expunged from Rahul Gandhi's speech in Lok Sabha, Union parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi on Friday said at a press conference. Joshi was responding to Congress MP who alleged that ‘Bharat Mata’ is an ‘unparliamentary word’ after some of his remarks made during the debate on no-confidence motion were expunged by Speaker Om Birla.

“It appears from his statements he has lost his mental balance…It is very unfortunate that the so-called grand old party is behaving so irresponsibly,” the Union minister said while he was briefing the businesses conducted during the monsoon session in Parliament to media.

Joshi further revealed the Opposition MPs never thought that the matter on the Manipur violence will be taken up for discussion. “MPs of the Congress, not leaders, have personally told us that ‘we never thought you’d agree to discuss (Manipur issue) this soon'….Like PM Narendra Modi & Union Home Minister Amit Shah said we should be sensitive about the issue,” he added.
