The Union Minister took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi and said that MP should come to the Parliament and apologise to the nation.

Addressing a press conference, "Today India is emerging as a global superpower and India is chairing the G20. All these things show the progress of India but on the other hand, Rahul Gandhi is not leaving any chance to humiliate India."

Thakur said that Rahul Gandhi goes abroad and insults the country.

"He should come to the Parliament and apologise to the nation. He says that he is not allowed to speak in Parliament but his attendance in Lok Sabha is lower than the average attendance of MPs in Parliament," said the Union Minister.

"Congress knows the art of corruption and corruption through art. They are running a campaign against the country. They should apologise to the nation and stop their Cambridge cries," he added.

He further said that organisations investigating terror-funding cases are now conducting a case study on the corruption model of Congress.

The Congress leader also alleged that various institutions in the country were under threat.

He also termed the RSS a "fundamentalist" and "fascist" organisation alleging that it has captured pretty much all of India's institutions.

Rahul Gandhi had criticised the Centre alleging that an attack has been unleashed on the basic structure of Indian democracy.
