For Congress, family is above all, says Jaitley

New Delhi:  Taking on from where Narendra Modi left, BJP leader Arun Jaitley today stepped up attack on Rahul Gandhi and Congress, terming the party a “dynastic institution” where “the family” must be above Parliament

Reacting to the recent events surrounding the controversial ordinance, Jaitely said the government cannot understand the basic principle that “what is morally unacceptable is also not politically acceptable”.



”There may have been 3-5 people who might have been convicted. A convicted person should continue to be a lawmaker, which is why there was an effort to change the law.

This was morally unacceptable. So how can it be politically acceptable? And this discussion was going on from mid July. We can live with the fact if 4-5 convicted people sit outside,” he said during an event today.

Jaitley said that the ordinance was brought when the Parliament did not agree to it.
