A video is viral on social media, claiming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was criticised in the Parliament of a foreign country.
The Facebook post reads: “दुनिया के संसद मे भी हमारे प्रधान शोषक का नाम” (English translation: Name of our chief exploiter in the world’s parliament, too?)
In the video, the minister can be heard questioning Prime Minister Modi on the money spent on his foreign visits and expenditure incurred in welcoming and hosting world leaders. He also questioned the money spent on Kumbh Mela and BJP offices before moving onto the topics of demonetisation, privatisation and fuel price hike.
