New Delhi. BJP MP Anurag Thakur’s caste statement is being criticized by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, SP President Akhilesh Yadav and Congress. Meanwhile, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi today took a dig at Rahul Gandhi and said, whatever I heard and saw in the media, Anurag Thakur did not name anyone, then ‘who caught the flying arrow?’ There is a saying for this ‘a straw in the thief’s beard’. Targeting Rahul Gandhi without taking any name, Trivedi said that a straw is visible in the beard that grew two years ago.

Sudhanshu Trivedi said there is a lot of confusion over the Indi alliance. On the floor of the house, Akhilesh Yadav said that how can you ask someone’s caste and then he is saying that the caste of the entire country has to be asked, tell the country what is your stand? Or are you completely confused about opposing Modi? It should be clear whether the caste has to be asked or not, if it has to be asked then whose caste should be asked and whose not, whether it has to be asked inside the house or outside, this should be clear. Sudhanshu Trivedi said that the opposition neither stood by the things it says before nor now.

At the same time, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju hit back at Congress and Rahul Gandhi, saying that he himself keeps talking about caste day and night, he asks the caste of media persons and army personnel. Congress has conspired to divide the country on the basis of caste. They want to weaken democracy and the country’s economy, they want to spread anarchy and violence. Let us tell you that yesterday in the Lok Sabha, BJP MP Anurag Thakur had said that those whose caste is not known talk about caste census. Rahul Gandhi objected to this and accused him of being abused.
