Hitting back to Prime Minister Modi’s earthquake remark, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said that he mocked the tragedy of Uttarakhand.
“When people look for a sense of service and modesty in scam, the earth shakes,” Modi targeted Rahul Gandhi in his reply to the discussion on motion of thanks to the President’s address on January 31.
However, the PM also said that they will do whatever they can to aid those affected in the earthquake.
He also alleged that the Modi insulted the freedom struggle.

Rahul Gandhi also said that Modi failed to answers the question of opposition.
Meanwhile, other Congress leader termed Modi speech as arrogant and said PM failed to present his vision
“This was quite an arrogant reply. This was the last opportunity for him. Because next budget and President’s address will be before the next Lok Sabha election. He should have used this window of opportunity to present his vision, clarity and also perspective for the country. Perhaps he has lost his life’s opportunity or the NDA has lost this good opportunity to present what they stand for,” Congress leader Veerappa Moily told reporters outside Parliament.
Another Congress leader, Shashi Tharoor said that just by giving a good speech, good days do not come as for that there is a need to do some work.
“By giving a accha bhashan (good speech), acche din (good days) does not come. To bring good days, there is a need for work as well. We have just heard his speech. Today on this demonetisation, we are again getting an opportunity to speak. Because the Ordinance which the government had promulgated, they have now brought a Bill. We will answer on this,” Tharoor said.
