Hours after Amit Shah took charge as the new Union Home Minister, Priyank Kharge, son of veteran Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge, took a swipe at Shah claiming that the Ministry of Home Affairs should now be renamed as the ‘Ministry of Providing Clean Chits’.

Kharge, an MLA from Karnataka’s Chittapur, tweeted: “Now that we have a new Home Minister, I think it is better to rename the Ministry of Home Affairs as Ministry of Providing Clean Chits.”

Now that we have a new Home Minister, I think it is better to rename the Ministry of Home Affairs as Ministry of Providing Clean Chits.
