New Delhi: A BJP parliamentarian on Wednesday said Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Jyotiraditya Scindia did not know anything about farmers and talked about them only after “reading from books”.

Participating in a debate in the Lok Sabha on the drought situation in several parts of the country, parliamentarian Virendra Singh challenged the Congress leaders on their knowledge about farmers in the country.

“They do not know anything about ‘kisan’. Whatever knowledge they have about them is taken from books,” he said, adding that both actually were not connected with reality and instead dub the BJP government a “suit-boot ki sarkar” (a government of the affluent).

The Congress was also not in the habit of seeing a commoner like Narendra Modi on the prime minister’s chair, the BJP leader said.

“Anybody can now become a prime minister with public mandate. The seat is no longer reserved for a select few,” he said.

“They can’t see any commoner on that seat. They think it’s reserved for privileged people like them alone,” Singh said, accusing Scindia of getting himself addressed as a ‘Maharaja’ even though the the system of royal dynasties was abolished long ago.

“If somebody calls on him (Scindia), he would be told the Maharaja is sleeping,” Singh said.

The atmosphere was charged up as the BJP leader delivered his speech. As he paused at 6.00 p.m. to give time to the chair to ask members whether they would like extension of debate time, Deputy Speaker M. Thambidurai, sensing more trouble in the house, adjourned it for the day.

The Congress members resorted to vociferous protests throughout the BJP leader’s speech.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
