Debate on intolerance is irrelevant as Indian culture is the most sensitive one in the world since time immemorial, Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Speaker Kailash Meghwal said here today.

"Those who have returned their awards actually got these in the previous Congress regime, and neither the Congress nor left parties have digested the overwhelming majority and victory of BJP in the previously held Lok Sabha and Assembly polls," Meghwal said after hoisting the tricolour at Vidhan Sabha pemises

Intolerance issue was raised jointly by Congress and Left parties as they have not overcome their defeat in the polls, he further alleged.
 

The intolerance was prevailing in some countries where people of other religions were not even allowed to live properly and freedom of expression was limited, he said.

Intolerance had "cropped up during previous Congress regime," he said.
