New Delhi (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: Senior Congress Leader and Former Congress President outlined the remark of Senior Congress Leader Digvijay Singh over providing proof of surgical strike.
Rahul Gandhi was briefing a press conference and he completely disagreed with the statement of the veteran leader and called it his personal views.
Rahul Gandhi said, “We are a democratic party. And we are not a dictatorship. We don’t run our party with principles of coercion. We don’t appreciate Mr Digvijaya’s personal views. But the views of the party are above Digvijaya’s views. The views of the party are generated from a conversation within the party. I would like to assure you that Mr Digvijaya Singh’s views are outlier views. They are not views that are held by the centre of the party”.
“We are absolutely crystal clear that the armed forces do a job. They do a job exceptionally well and they do not need to be providing proof for anything,” he added.
Elaborating, he said “It is in the culture of our party to allow conversations and sometimes when those conversations happen people who have extreme views air their views. So we try to manage a conversation. In the BJP and the RSS there is no conversation. They just decide that this is what is going to be and nobody can talk after that. It is like demonetisation. The Prime Minister gets up one morning and we are going to demonetise. Or like GST where you completely destroy the backbone of the country because you are not having a conversation.”
“We think a conversation is very very important. Sometimes, of course, there are people in every conversation who will say ridiculous things. And in this case, I am sorry to have to say this about a senior leader, he said a ridiculous thing,” Gandhi added.
