New Delhi, Jan 27 (UNI) Opposition CPI(M) and Congress on Monday slammed Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur for allegedly encouraging the crowd in raising "controversial' slogan against anti-CAA protestors during a BJP's election rally here ahead of February 8 Delhi Assembly polls.
CPI(M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury in a tweet said, 'The Cabinet is about “collective responsibility”. A Union Minister calls for “goli maaro”. Does PM’s silence mean approval? The govt must listen to the people and take back CAA.'
Congress leader in Karnataka Priyank Kharge in a tweet said, ' Brilliant! Never have I heard MoS Finance @ianuragthakur speak on state of economy, jobs, budget etc. Since the budget gets prepared in Nagpur, Mantri has no work to do & is free to be a hate monger! This is the sorry state of leadership in BJP!'
