New Delhi: Union Minister for Human Resource Development Smriti Irani on Friday slammed Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi for his comment that" National Herald case is vendetta coming out of the prime minister's office"calling it an insult to democracy.
"There can't be a bigger insult to our democracy. Judiciary and democracy don't function at someone's comfort," Irani said addressing a session at 'Agenda Aaj Tak' being organised here in the city.
The statements being made by Gandhi show that if the "Judiciary doesn't kneel before the Gandhi family, parliament won't be allowed to function".
Summoned in the National Herald case along with his mother, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi has twice targeted the Prime Minister's Office as his party continued to accuse the government of political vendetta.
"One hundred per cent political vendetta. Pure political vendetta coming out of PMO. It is their way of doing politics. Pure 100 per cent vendetta,” Rahul had said on wednesday outside Parliament.
ON Friday also the congress vice president reiterated that the central government was having a political vendetta against the Congress party and that it was coming out of the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
