As reported and forecast by Indianmandarins, the opposition is all prepared to move privilege motions against HRD MInister Smriti Iranin on Monday. To counter the move, the BJP on Sunday defended HRD Minister Smriti Irani who is under attack over her statement on Rohith issue, saying the Opposition has "no ground" to move a privilege motion against her as it is based on mere "insinuation". BJP spokesperson M J Akbar lashed out at the Congress, accusing it of "doing politics" over a tragedy and "using lies to mislead" public on the issue to divert attention from the flak it is facing after Rahul Gandhi joined the JNU protesters. "You will bring a privilege notice on insinuation in what she has stated. If one would have to bring a privilege motion on insinuation, then not even a single Congress leader would have dared to stay in Parliament," he told reporters. BJP said Irani's statement on the issue in Parliament was based on official account that the police gave at that time.
