Manipur is integral part of India: Smriti Irani

Union Minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday hit back at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s words on the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha against the NDA government and said “You are not India, for India is not corrupt.”

“You are not India because you define corruption and dynastic politics. India believes in merit not in dynasty and today of all the days people like you need to remember what was told to the British – Quit India. Corruption Quit India and Dynasty Quit India. Merit now finds place in India,” Irani continued.

Responding to Rahul Gandhi’s comments on “You killed Bharat Mata in Manipur” (Bharat Mata ki hatya aapne Manipur mein ki), Irani fired back and said, “Entire country has seen Congress leaders clapping and thumping desks when Rahul Gandhi spoke of the death of mother India” (Bharat maa ki hatya ki baat karne wale kabhi bhi mez nahi thapthapate. Congressiyo ne baith kar maa ki hatya ke liye mez thapthapaai hai…).

She further added, that Manipur is not divided, it is an integral part of India.
