- Amit Shah hit back at Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury over his allegation that the Home Minister disrespected Tagore during his visit to Visva Bharati, a university founded by the Nobel Laureate. The Congress leader had alleged that Shah sat on a place which holds historical prominence as Rabindranath Tagore used to sit on that chair. ‘I have this letter from vice-chancellor of Visva Bharati as I had asked him to check all the photos and videos and tell me if I sat somewhere where I shouldn't have. He said there has not been any incident as such. The place on which I sat is a window and many have sat on that window before,’ Amit Shah said. He also showed pictures and said that former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru and Rajiv Gandhi had sat on that chair. Watch the full video for all the details.
