MoS Ashwini Kumar makes controversial remark, calls Rahul Gandhi ‘gutter bug’
New Delhi : Ashwini Kumar Choubey, the Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, on Saturday launched a vitriolic attack on Rahul Gandhi, comparing the Congress chief with “naali ke keede” (sewer bug).
“Pradhan mantri gagan ke jaisa aur aaj ka Congress ka adhyaksh hai unka aakaar kaisa, naali ke keede jaisa (Our PM is like the sky but what about the Congress chief? He is like insects in the gutter),” Choubey was quoted by ANI as saying. He was addressing a programme in Bihar’s Sasaram when he made the controversial statement.
Known for making contentious remarks, MoS Choubey last month had called the Congress president an “impersonator” adorning several faces and claimed that he would “finish” the party. “Rahul Gandhi is an impersonator (bahrupiya) and wants to adorn several faces but he is a child (bauwa). He will finish the party. It will be Congress president who will put his party into the graves,” Choubey had said.
Earlier, the minister also ran into controversy for calling the then Congress president Sonia Gandhi as the mythical demon “Putana”, and referring to Rahul as a “foreign parrot”.

US VP JD Vance says Lebanon not part of ceasefire, calls it ‘misunderstanding’
Budapest/Washington: US Vice President J D Vance has said that Lebanon was never included in the ceasefire understanding with Iran, describing the confusion as a “legitimate misunderstanding”.
Speaking to reporters before departing from Hungary, Vance said, “I think the Iranians thought that the ceasefire included Lebanon and it just didn’t. We never made that promise.”
He stressed that the United States had not included Lebanon in the scope of the ceasefire at any stage.
His remarks come amid continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, where more than 200 people were reported killed, even as ceasefire talks between Iran and the US move forward.
Vance said Israel had “offered … to check themselves a little bit in Lebanon because they want to make sure that our negotiation is successful”.
He warned that if Iran allows the situation in Lebanon to affect the negotiations, it could derail the talks.
“If Iran wants to let this negotiation fall apart in a conflict where they were getting hammered over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them and which the United States never once said was part of the ceasefire, that’s ultimately their choice,” he said.
