Kharge, however, added this was his estimate and the government should provide the “correct” figures.”This is my estimate, if this is not right you should tell what is the truth. I am asking you to declare what the actual numbers are. If I am wrong I am ready to correct,” he said.Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar urged him to retract his statement.”The LoP has indicated a scenario using figures to the extent of thousands. I appeal to him, in this House, whatever is spoken, carries great weight. You have spoken something which has numbed everyone,” Dhankhar said.”A message that goes from here, even if it is contradicted, goes to the whole world. Can you go to that extent? I would appeal to you as one of senior most leaders of this country, if you put a figure in thousands I can only appeal to your conscious,” he said.Kharge said he did not mention the figure to blame anyone.Even as Chairman Dhankhar called Kharge making the claim a “very sad moment” and asked him to withdraw his statement, the Leader of Opposition insisted the government give the correct figures and continued with his speech.He also paid tributes to former prime minister Manmohan Singh, calling him the architect of the modern Indian economy.
