Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today made a big allegation against Home Minister Amit Shah during his speech in Lok Sabha. Rahul Gandhi said that Shah's staff made a Manipuri leaders' delegation remove their footwear outside his room, while the minister himself was wearing a pair of Chappals during the meeting. Gandhi's comments draw criticism and opposition from the treasury benches.

"A few days ago some political leader came to me from Manipur. They were very agitated. He said he felt very insulted when they went to Amit Shah's house and were asked to remove shoes. But inside, Amit Shah was wearing shoes. This is not the way to deal with the people of India," Rahul Gandhi said.

Opposing Rahul Gandhi, Union Minister Piyush Bansal stood and said that Congress leader was putting up a "very ridiculous charge at the Home Minister".

Gandhi, in his Lok Sabha speech, also said that the present government's stand on China and Pakistan worked only to bring the two neighbouring countries together to work against India.

"The single biggest strategic goal of India has been to keep China and Pakistan apart. But what you have done is brought them together. You have committed the single biggest crime you can commit...China has a plan.

"The foundation of their (China and Pakistan) plan has been put in place in Doklam and Ladakh. This is a serious threat to India. We have made a huge strategic mistake in J&K and in our foreign policy," he said.
