[New Delhi]Naidu Calls Azad Anti National In RajyaSabha
Congress Leader GN Azad Today Linked Demonetisation With Uri Attack
Rajya Sabha today witnessed a sharp clash after Leader of Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad made certain comments linking Uri terror attack casualties to the deaths during demonetisation “crisis”, which the ruling side termed as “anti-national” and wanted an apology from Congress.
Heated exchanges broke out between treasury and opposition benches after Azad said 40 people had died following government’s decision on demonetisation and that these many casualties had not occurred even in the terror attack on Uri army camp. 18 army personnel were killed in that attack.
“Who should be punished” for the death of these 40 people which occurred due to “wrong policy” on demonetisation, he asked and added that “millions of people are troubled. BJP and Government is responsible.”
This comment by Azad drew massive protests from Treasury members with Information and Broadcasting Minister M Venkaiah Naidu saying the remarks are “anti-national”.
An angry Naidu said Pakistan would use these comments against India and that Congress should apologise for it.
He also requested Deputy Chairman P J Kurien to expunge the remarks.
Chaos followed and the House was prematurely adjourned for the day, minutes past 3 PM

Congress leader Digvijay Singh today sought to put the National Democratic Alliance government in the dock, suggesting the earlier NDA regime had “compromised” with national security by releasing the terrorist following the 1999 Indian airlines hijack.
In a series of tweets, Cong Leader also made a strong pitch for building strong international pressure to isolate Pakistan in the wake of the terror strike and also stressed on looking into the “failure” of the Army to protect its camp near the LoC.
“We compromised to let Masood Azhar go after Indian Airlines hijack. Lesson? Never compromise with National Security,” the Congress General Secretary said.
“Masood Azhar’s Jaish-e-Mohammad behind the attack. Of course with full connivance of Pakistan Establishment.”
He said “Should also look at the failure of the Army to protect its Army Camp near the LOC,”
“Pay homage to the Martyrs in Uri. GOI must strongly build International pressure to isolate Pakistan”, the Congress leader added.
Flight IC 814, which was en route from Nepal to Delhi, was hijacked on December 24, 1999 with 176 passengers onboard.
Three terrorists, including Masood Azhar, were released by the Indian government in exchange for the safe release of passengers and the crew.
