NEW DELHI. BJP lawmaker
Shatrughan Sinha on Wednesday told Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, who’s also his party colleague, that the “heavens wouldn’t have fallen” if he’d left for his Africa sojourn after the current Parliament session.
Alluding to the PM’s frequent foreign trips, Sinha said Modi could have still "visited some of the nations left on the globe” that he hasn’t been to after the current session of Parliament.
Sinha, a former Bolywood star, also criticized the PM for what he said is his silence on the growing number of lynching incidents in the country.
Complimenting the PM for gifting 200 cows to Rwanada, the BJP MP from
Patna Sahib then asked him to break his silence over the rising mob lynching incidents in India.
Sinha said that being abroad doesn’t prevent the PM from condemning the lynchings.
He also referred to a privilege motion moved against the government on the
Rafale deal and said, “humble request to direct us” on how to proceed.
Sinha, who leaves no opportunity to criticize central BJP leadership, interestingly did follow his party’s whip during the no-confidence motion against his party’s government. He voted against it, that is, for the BJP-led NDA government.
