A war of words has broken out on social media between Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju and Congress leader Pawan Kheda. It started when Rijiju shared a video of himself swimming in a river in Arunachal Pradesh. After this, Pawan Kheda shared the video of Rijiju and Giriraj Singh and took a dig at them. On this, Kiren Rijiju replied by tagging Pawan Kheda and also mentioned Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

 

Kiren Rijiju hit back at Pawan Kheda's comment and called it an indecent comment. He warned Khera that he would complain about his undisciplined behavior to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.

 

Kiran Rijiju's full statement

Kiren Rijiju wrote on his social media platform Do you swim wearing a full suit and coat?' He further said that you are a first-time MP and your party has sent you to Rajya Sabha, whereas I have contested 8 elections so far. This does not mean that you get the right to make such indecent comments.

 

Kiren Rijiju further wrote, 'I swim with the people of my village, so that I can inspire my people and those who follow me. When I am among my people, Rahul ji is not in my mind. But Congress people started saying that I cannot swim like Rahul ji. That's why I also replied, because I don't take any training for such activities.

 

Video of swimming in Arunachal river becomes cause of controversy

Actually, Kiren Rijiju had shared the video of swimming in the rivers of Arunachal Pradesh. He advised people to avoid going into deep water. Rijiju had said that the rivers of Arunachal are very big and deep and due to the strong flow, swimming in them is different from swimming pool.

 

While sharing its video, Pawan Kheda said, 'Think, how strongly Rahul ji has touched the nerves of BJP. On one hand, Kiren Rijiju ji cannot even go swimming without a shirt, without taking the name of Rahul Gandhi. On the other hand, the condition of senior leader Giriraj Singh ji has become such that he is calling himself a 74-year-old newborn child. Rahul ji, what have you done to all this?
