Piyush Goyal demands Rahul apologise for Lok Sabha allegations

Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday accused Rahul Gandhi of making “baseless” and “false” allegations in the Lok Sabha over the police action against protesters and said the Leader of Opposition was “frustrated” as students had “rejected” him.

“It was nothing but a bundle of lies… He should not be allowed to get away with this. Rahul Gandhi should



apologise. This is a serious misuse of the House,” the minister told reporters in the Parliament House complex on Gandhi’s remarks during a debate on the Bill to amend the anti-paper leaks law.

Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah had authorised police excesses against student protesters and that the RSS had “captured” the education system, triggering a massive uproar.
