Nirmala Sitharaman hits back at opposition for slamming BJP’s manifesto

Apr 09, 2019

New Delhi, Apr 09 (ANI): While speaking to ANI, Union Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman talked about the allegations opposition had made on the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) manifesto. Sitharaman said, “Can anyone deny that Ram Temple issue is still in the court? But still we have issued a request and we even gone to the court and say ‘will you please release those lands that are around the disputed area so that other works can start’. I actually want to ask question in return. What Congress party wants to do on these issues? Do they want to continue the stale-mate? Do they want to say they are not interested in Ram Mandir? What is the position of Congress party? So, instead of calling others ‘Jumla’, let them come out openly to say that they either in favour of the temple or not.”
