‘Daro Mat!’ Rahul dares PM to debate on Oppn anti-national charge

‘Daro Mat!’ Rahul dares PM to debate on Oppn anti-national charge

What's behind this

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh criticised Home Minister Amit Shah’s suggestion to hold a special Parliament session on the SIR issue, saying the government should first secure the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, whom he called the ‘hatchet man’. Ramesh’s remarks came after Shah said the government was ready for the session and challenged Rahul Gandhi to debate the matter in the House. The party’s demand links the convening of any special session to the removal of the CEC.
