New Delhi, Feb 8: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday accused the Centre of communalising every issue in the Parliament.
In his response to the Speaker of the House, Kharge said that all MPs do is Hindu-Muslim. He also questioned the government as to why the SCs are not allowed to enter the temples if they are considered to be Hindus.
“Wealth of one of the closest friends of PM Modi increased by 13 times in 2.5 years,” Kharge added.
Kharge also added statistics to the debate by saying, “In 2014 it was Rs 50,000 crore while in 2019 it became Rs 1 lakh crore.” Further, he questioned the Prime Minister, “What magic happened in two years that suddenly assets worth Rs 12 lakh crores came, is it due to favour of friendship?”

“If I speak the truth, is it anti-national? I’m not anti-national. I’m more patriotic than anyone here. I’m a ‘Bhoomi-putra’. You’re looting the country and telling me that I’m anti-national,” said Kharge during debate on Motion of Thanks on President’s address.
Notably, Prime Minister Modi will reply to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address at around 3:30 PM in the Lok Sabha.
