'Strange dichotomy' between what PM chants and his party propagates: Congress

"There is a strange dichotomy in this government, the Prime Minister chants make in India' his party propagates 'hate in India'. The prime minister raises slogans of 'start up India' their ideological fellow travelers interpreted as 'break up India'. So there is a inherent contradiction in this government itself," Congress leader Manish Tewari told ANI here.

They want to assault and subvert the very liberal idea of India which cannot be permitted under any circumstances," he added.

Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge has submitted an adjournment motion notice in the Lok Sabha on the Jawaharlal Nehru University stand-off and the suicide case of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula.

"We have given adjournment motion, if the speaker gives permission, then we will discuss about it," Kharge told ANI here.
