Union Minister of state for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore today demanded that the Congress party clarify to people whether it has any "hidden agenda" of "dividing" the nation.
Rahul Gandhi goes to JNU and "supports" those who talk in favour of dividing the country.
"Congress party should clarify whether it has a hidden issue or the party wants to divide the country? There should be a thorough inquiry," Rathore told reporters here.
He also said that there should be investigation to find out whether there is a foreign hand behind this incident (of students shouting anti-national slogans in JNU).
Rathore asked the Congress party to not politicise the matter (JNU row).
On the sidelines of the event, Rathore who is an Olympic
medallist himself, lauded the performance of shuttler P V Sindhu and wrestler Sakshi Malik in Rio Olympics.
He said the government had even released an advertisement in this regard.
He also hoped that wrestler Narsingh Yadav would also get relief in the doping issue.
