Amit Shah's blunt remark to Trinamool MP, says 'at least act your age in Parliament'
PTC News Desk: Home Minister Amit Shah slammed Trinamool Congress MP Saugata Roy today in response to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's claim that leaders and employees from Other Backward Classes were underrepresented in the central government.
Gandhi stated in parliament that only three of the Centre's 90 secretaries belonged to the OBC community. He asked for a caste census at the soonest.
Shah responded strongly to the Congress MP's remark, saying, "Some NGOs give chits with questions to ask, and they say it here."
Roy tried to respond while Shah was speaking, but was cut off by the Home Minister, who remarked, "In the new parliament, at least you should act your age."
By the time Shah began speaking, Gandhi had already left the house.
"Some people think that secretaries run the country. I think the government does. 85 BJP MPs and 29 ministers are from the OBC community," the Home Minister.
'Those claiming to speak for OBCs should know that it is the BJP which gave an OBC Prime Minister," he added.
