#Congress_Cheap_Politics
2)
Leaders of both parties were sitting together and att@cking BJP NDA .

Whenever Congress leader spoke, the CPM leaders were thumping the desks and vice-versa.

Whenever a leader from NDA was attacking Congress, leaders from CPM were counter attacking fiercely.
3)
All 'secular' forces were united to dethrone the Vajpayee government.

Veteran leader George Fernandez was defending the government.

He said " Speaker sir, I want to inform you what a strong organisation has to say something on Congress party".
4)
He took out a book while speaking so and started reading..

"Congress party is the fountainhead of corruption (big shouting from congress benches) The British left and the Congress party replaced them

Over the past 50 years, Congress has established new records in corruption
5)
(again big shouting from congress )

Congress ministers have often been found embroiled in several scams, including Mundra scam, Churhat Lottery scam, Bofors scam, Sukhram scam, Harshad Mehta scam, JMM Bribery scam and Hawala, that took place during its regime.
6)
Congress has corrupted and misused every institution of the Indian democracy."

At this point, both Congress and CPM got charged up and said "Speaker sir! Please ask the honourable member to name the source,we can't allow him to read from any unnamed document. Please restrain
7)
George Fernandez said "Please don't get impatient. I'll definitely name the source. But first let me complete what it says.

It says
"The Congress party's record on Secularism too has been chequered. At various times in history, Congressi goondas took active part in riots
8)
and k!lled people.

3000 Sikhs were bĂĽtchered by them on streets of Delhi & prime minister Rajiv Gandhi watched it silently."

Big shouting and noise again from benches of Congress and CPM.

George Fernandez, "Just give me two minutes & then I'll reveal the source"
9)
He continued to read from book "Speaker sir, it says, "No country in history has ever progressed with bad governance and excessive corruption as partners. None !

The Congress suffers from this twin ailment since decades. Its survival is detrimental to the progress of India.
10)
Therefore, in the interest of this nation, it's important that Congress party is wiped out from this land for ever."

Big shouting and noise again from benches of Congress and CPM.

"Speaker sir! It cannot go on like this. We will not allow him to speak any further if he
11)
doesn't give the source he is quoting from."

"Ok" said George ,"There is more to read. But since our friends from Congress and CPM are so desperate to know the source, let me tell you what I am reading from.

I'm reading from the Manifesto of CPI(M) issued just before this
12)
Lok Sabha elections."

Pin drop silence in the house. Leaders from Congress and CPM were staring at eachother..

George : "What happened, why silent ? You were shouting , we want to know the source, we want to know the source.

Once you heard the name of the source
13)
your voices were mute. Shame on your selves !

Definitely you should be ashamed ..

My friends from the Left! Either you don't read your own manifesto or you don't mean a word of it. In either case, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
14)
In the name of secularism,u have joined hands with Congress that has broken all records in corruption

I urge you to introspect to determine ur future course of action. if you do not mend ur ways,ur party will become history, sooner rather than later."
