No-trust move Opposition bid to divert from Soros issue: Rijiju

“Since the report on the equation between George Soros and the Congress leadership and with OCCRP came, the Congress party and its allies have been in panic… It (the motion) is an an attempt to get away from the exposure of links between OCCRP, George Soros and Congress party. This kind of diversionary tactics will not succeed,” he said.

Rijiju said the notice will be rejected by the House as the majority of the members have “full faith” in Chairman Dhankhar, who is a “knowledgeable person and a gentleman”.

“Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar comes from a poor farmer’s family and is the first V-P from the Jat community. And the V-P always talks of the welfare of farmers, poor, country inside and outside the Parliament. He guides us. We respect him a lot. He is a very knowledgeable person. We are proud of him. I condemn the notice submitted,” said Rijiju.

“The majority members have full faith in the vice-president. We are very happy with him,” he added.
