New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi dubbing him as a 'king' who has got 57 MPs arrested and 23 MPs suspended for asking questions on unemployment and inflation.
He also alleged that while the king is afraid of questions in the temple of democracy, they well know how to fight dictators.
देश के ‘राजा’ का हुक्म है - जो बेरोज़गारी, महंगाई, गलत GST, अग्निपथ पर सवाल पूछेगा - उसे कारागृह में डाल दो।

भले ही मैं अभी हिरासत में हूं, भले ही देश में अब जनता की आवाज़ उठाना जुर्म हो, लेकिन वो हमारा हौसला कभी नहीं तोड़ पाएंगे।
"Why a cylinder for Rs 1053? Why GST on curd-cereals? Why Mustard Oil for Rs 200? The 'king' arrested 57 MPs and suspended 23 MPs for asking questions on inflation and unemployment," Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
Twenty Rajya Sabha MPs have been suspended from the House for the rest of the week after they continued to disrupt proceedings to press for an immediate discussion on price rise and levy of GST on essential items.
सिलेंडर ₹1053 का क्यों?

दही-अनाज पर GST क्यों?
सरसों का तेल ₹200 क्यों?
महंगाई और बेरोज़गारी पर सवाल पूछने के अपराध में ‘राजा’ ने 57 MPs को गिरफ़्तार और 23 MPs को निलंबित किया।
राजा को लोकतंत्र के मंदिर में सवाल से डर लगता है, पर तानाशाहों से लड़ना हमें बख़ूबी आता है।
The former Congress chief also said, "The king is afraid of questions in the temple of democracy, but we know very well how to fight dictators".
