Your name, your minister's and your friend's names appearing together in the Epstein files, being linked to such a vile criminal -- that is a matter of shame. In his video message, Rahul claimed there was fear in the prime minister’s eyes and that this was why he did not face the opposition in Parliament during the Budget session. He said it was not former Army chief M M Naravane’s unpublished book but the Epstein files and the US case against Adani that kept Modi away from Parliament. The prime minister also described the Congress as “ideologically-bankrupt and impoverished” and accused it of crossing all limits. He said that instead of feeling ashamed, Congress leaders were glorifying those who insulted the country and the prime minister.
