“One rule for PM and his BJP desk thumpers. Another set of rules for MPs from opposition,” he said.Trinamool Congress MP Derek O’Brien today joined Congress MP Jairam Ramesh in attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his speech in the parliament yesterday. Referring to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s remarks being scrubbed from parliament records, he alleged that only opposition leaders are being asked to authenticate what they say on the floor of the parliament. Mr Gandhi’s remarks in the Lok Sabha were deleted on February 7, citing a rule that requires MPs to authenticate their claims. Jairam Ramesh shared an old news report claiming the PM in his “long rant” yesterday blamed UPA for the 2005 cash-for-query scam when in fact 6 of 11 involved were BJP MPs.”Disturbing. Why are only members of the Opposition being asked to ‘AUTHENTICATE WHAT YOU SAY ON THE FLOOR OF #Parliament” One rule for PM and his BJP desk thumpers. Another set of rules for MPs from @AITCofficial @INCIndia @BRSparty @arivalayam @AamAadmiParty @cpimspeak & others,” Derek O’Brien tweeted.Disturbing.
