PM Narendra Modi mocks Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha, calls note ban a right decision at right time

PM Modi took a dig on Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi by refering to last night's earthquake tremors felt across Delhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 7 addressed the lower house of the Parliament, Lok Sabha, during the ongoing Budget session, and in his marathon speech he attacked the opposition over range of issues including surgical strikes, demonetisation and several others.

Amid uproar from the opposition parties, including the Congress, PM Modi started his address by attacking Rahul Gandhi. PM took a jibe at Rahul’s ‘earthquake’ remark and said: “Kal bhukamp aaya, kendra sarkar Rajya Sarkar ke sampark me hai. Bhukamp aa hi gaya, koi to kaaran hoga, dharti maa rooth gayi hongi (The earthquake came last night and the centre is in touch with the state government. There has to be some reason for this tremors)”

Earlier in December 2016, Rahul Gandhi while attacking PM Modi for his demonetisation move, promised that if he would allowed to speak on the issue in the Parliament then an ‘earthquake’ will come.

Following are the highlights of his speech:
