Participating in the discussion in Lok Sabha on the adjournment motion on the issue, Gandhi also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying he has not come to the House as he "does not have guts to sit in the chair and face us and answer the questions raised by us".
He said the problem with this government was that it does not want to see, hear or speak out the truth, "like Mahatma Gandhi's three monkeys."
Rahul also attacked the Prime Minister over his promise of bringing back black money and asked when the promised Rs 15 lakh would be deposited in the bank accounts of all Indians, as the Indian public had reposed faith in him.
"Today, he (PM) does not have the guts to sit in the chair and answer our questions. He does not have the guts to face us," Rahul said, asking the Prime Minister to speak out as the country wanted to hear him.
He told the PM "these people are not showing you the right way. These people are harming your interests. You should speak out as the country wants to hear you.
