“(Rahul) Gandhi should also apologise to the nation for the utterance which will only divide the country. Tharoor is an intellectual, a big name, and has been a Union minister. I would like to ask Rahul Gandhi whether he agrees with what his party MP has said,” Singh said. Singh also alleged that Gandhi was “adept at changing colours. He could attend a beef party in Kerala and wear a sacred thread in Gujarat”.
He likened former Vice-President Hamid Ansari’s statement that every community had the right to practise its own law to the ideology of Pakistan founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. However, the Union minister of state for micro, small and medium enterprises did not elaborate on his remark. Singh’s remarks were rubbished by the RJD, which is an ally of the Congress in the state.
“Is Giriraj Singh not aware that many leaders of his party’s allies in various states eat beef. He should stay within his limits while targeting a leader of Gandhi’s stature,” RJD national vice-president Raghuvansh Prasad Singh told reporters in Patna.
