BJP also wanted to know why all those Congress leaders, who had criticised Narendra Modi after he spoke against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his August 15 speech, were silent when Singh was being "openly criticised" in his absence from the country.
"Mr Sibal, kindly tell us that you did not understand the apex court judgement or Rahul Gandhi does not understand.... Whose understanding is poor," BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad said, asking him how he was unable to read his own party's "apex court".
Commenting on Information & Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari's remarks on BJP, Prasad said, "Kindly tell us that Mr Rahul Gandhi's advice is solicited or unsolicited. Is it to be taken seriously or not."
"Why Congressmen are quiet when their Prime Minister has been openly criticised. We have never seen such insult of Manmohan Singh," he said.
