No home minister can continue after stating so?

NDA government wants to pass 36 important bills including its prestigious GST bill during this ongoing winter sessions. However, parliament is rocking with arguments and counter arguments on the growing religious intolerance in the country. As if it is not enough, CPM MP Mohammad Salim stirs fresh trouble with his remarks made against Home Minister Rajnath Singh.

He alleges that Rajnath Singh reportedly said “a Hindu had come to power after 800 years.” Obviously Rajnath Singh strongly objected him for making baseless allegations on him. He challenged Salim to prove his allegations are true or apologize for it. Rajnath Singh said “This is a very serious allegation. I think no home minister should continue after making such a comment. In my parliamentary career, I am hurt for the first time.”

Salim replied that he didn’t come out of a RSS meeting to acknowledge the remarks. He said that he quoted this taking clue from a news magazine. Hence, he suggested the home minister to take legal action against the news magazine, if he hurts with the remarks. Lok Sabha adjourned for a while as tensions shoots up with their arguments and counter arguments. Later, when the house reassembled the discussion shifts on to growing intolerance in the country rather than debating on crucial bills.
