New Delhi. In the Lok Sabha today, BJP MP Anurag Thakur fiercely targeted the Leader of Opposition and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on many issues including caste census. In response to Rahul Gandhi’s statement on Mahabharata’s Chakravyuh and the comment on BJP’s election symbol lotus, the BJP MP also retaliated and made a sarcastic remark. Former Union Minister Anurag Thakur said that those whose caste is not known talk about caste census. Rahul Gandhi got angry at this statement of Anurag, he stood in the middle and started saying that he has abused me and will have to apologize for this, although later Rahul said that I do not even want his apology. Despite this, Anurag did not stop here, he said that in this very House, former Prime Minister RG-1 had opposed giving reservation to OBCs.

Thakur said that if you look at the budget, it has been praised everywhere, but the way a leader stood here and made a dig at the lotus, I don’t know what his objection is to the lotus? The BJP MP said that lotus also means Rajiv and we all know whose name Rajiv is. When the opposition leader talked about associating lotus with violence, he talked about associating Rajiv with violence. The BJP MP said, the seat of Maa Lakshmi is also lotus, our national flower is also lotus and in the Indus Valley civilization, the idol of Lord Shiva in the form of Pashupatinath was found in the Padmasana posture on the lotus, Lokmanya Tilak attained samadhi in the Padmasana posture.

Anurag said, you say that there is violence all around the lotus, you are not insulting the lotus but great men like Mahayogi Bhagwan Shiva, Bhagwan Buddha and Lokmanya Tilak, so next time before speaking about the lotus, think before speaking whom you are insulting. Referring to the Emergency imposed in the country by the late former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Anurag said that both Duryodhan and Dushasan may be wicked and rogues, but they too never imposed an Emergency.
Delhi: “…Dushyan and Duryodhan both can be evil and bad, but they never declared an emergency…” says BJP MP Anurag Thakur pic.twitter.com/8msRKnHZz8
