Hitting out at Congress leader Anand Sharma for his 'rubber stamp jibe', Corporate Affairs minister Anurag Thakur on Thursday said Union ministers are not like rubber stamps but are performing duties as assigned to them by the Prime Minister under the Constitution of India.
Talking to media on the sidelines of a customer outreach programme (COP) organised by Punjab National Bank (PNB) here, Thakur flayed Sharma, who had termed Union ministers as 'rubber stamps' while addressing a party workers meet at Shimla a few days back.
The Union minister said,"Anand Sharma is in the habit of criticising the BJP only for the sake of criticism. He and other Congress leaders should first verify the facts before making any statements against the ruling party and its leaders."
