New Delhi, July 19 (IBNS) : Congress members staged a walkout from the Lok Sabha on Tuesday in protest against Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh's statement accusing the previous UPA regime of destabilising several state Governments.
While discussing the political crisis in Arunachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Singh said the BJP has no role behind the developments.
"The crisis in Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh was unfortunate and disturbing healthy democracy is not the aim of this government. The crisis in those states arose due to the internal fight within the Congress Party. The BJP has nothing to do with this," Singh said while responding to the Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge's allegation that the BJP-led NDA Government, in its pursuit for a "Congress-mukt Bharat," has resorted to take "backdoor" measures to topple state Governments.
On the second day of the Monsoon Session, the Congress-led Opposition gave an adjournment notice in the Lok Sabha over the Arunachal Pradesh issue.
"It is the Congress that has the habit of destabilising democratically elected and popular governments.They have done it more than 100 times since independence," the Home Minister said.
"The crisis in Uttarakhand and Arunchal Pradesh arose due to the internal fight within the Congress party. The BJP has nothing to do with this," Singh said.
"If there is a hole in your boat then no point blaming the water," the Minister added.
