Jairam Ramesh attacked the BJP and RSS, saying, “This is a new and shameful low in the annals of India’s parliamentary history. It reflects the BJP-RSS and Mr. Modi’s deep-rooted casteism.”
Congress general secretary in-charge of communications and Rajya Sabha MP Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for sharing the unedited speech of BJP MP and former union minister Anurag Thakur, in which he launched personal attacks on former Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi.
Responding to PM Modi’s X post, in which he shared the link to Anurag Thakur’s speech, Jairam Ramesh said, “Sansad TV has uploaded the unedited speech, and the non-biological Prime Minister has shared and praised it publicly.”

PM praises Anurag Thakur’s speech
PM Modi praised Anurag Thakur’s speech and said it is a must-hear. “This speech by my young and energetic colleague, Anurag Thakur, is a must-hear. A perfect mix of facts and humor, exposing the dirty politics of the INDI Alliance.”
PM breached Parliamentary privilege: Congress
Reacting sharply to PM Modi’s post endorsing Anurag Thakur’s speech, a Congress leader said, “This speech that the non-biological Prime Minister calls a ‘must hear’ is a highly abusive and unconstitutional tirade – and by sharing it, he has encouraged a serious breach of Parliamentary privilege. Former Union Minister Anurag Thakur brought Parliamentary discourse to a new low by asking a fellow MP and the Leader of Opposition about his caste identity.”
