Likewise, he took a dig at him and said "Congress disappoints this country a lot, you did that too."
Furthermore, he said "I was listening to Derek Ji, he had chosen good words - Freedom of Speech, Intimidation. When I was listening to him, I was wondering if he is talking about Bengal or the country. He sees all this for 24 hours, so he might have said the same here too."
