New Delhi:
Taking a veiled dig at NITI Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant’s reported comments on the issue of democracy, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Friday said there is too much “bureaucracy” in the country.
“There is too much democracy, laments a senior bureaucrat. There is too much bureaucracy, says an anguished democrat,” said Mr Chidambaram in a tweet.
In a series of tweets, he slammed the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government for making a law on ”love jihad” and asserted that the foundation of a new Parliament building was laid on the ”ruins of a liberal democracy”.
“The foundation for a new Parliament building was laid on the ruins of a liberal democracy,” said tweeted lead by tweet demanding ”Nobel Prizes” for UP government in the field of Literature (fiction) and Peace.
“UP’s creativity deserves two Nobel Prizes — for Literature (fiction) and Peace,” he tweeted.
“UP is the most creative state in law-making and in the application of the law. Who else could have invented a crime called ”love jihad”?” the Congress leader asked in another tweet.
Mr Chidambaram alleged that Yogi Adityanath-led state government is misusing the new law.
