In a recent address in the Lok Sabha, BJP MP Anurag Thakur took a sharp stance against Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition, and the Congress party, accusing them of selective outrage.

In a sharp response to Congress leader Salman Khurshid’s comments about the situation in Bangladesh, BJP MP Anurag Thakur has accused the Congress party of trying to instigate a state of anarchy in India. Thakur’s remarks came after Khurshid suggested that violent protests like those occurring in Bangladesh could potentially happen in India.

Claiming that those who questioned him (Thakur) were the ones whose forefathers used to call the backwards, deprived and Dalits "intellectually challenged," he said, "today their homes are filled with people who are intellectually challenged. Their forefathers made excuses for denying equal rights to Dalits and tribals. They are the people who could not accept a Dalit man standing before them in a suit to write the Constitution."
