New Delhi, August 30: After Congress wrote two letters to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and made charges against its operations in India, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief whip in Rajya Sabha Shiv Pratap Shukla on Sunday taunted Congress and said that the party is behaving like a business house which is competing against Facebook.

"I think it is a competition for business between Congress and Facebook. We are very clear that under the NDA government led by Narendra Modi, rules are the same for all companies and subjects of national and public interest is supreme for us," Shukla said. Also Read | Pratap Singh Khachariyawas, Rajasthan Cabinet Minister, Tests For COVID-19, Admitted in Hospital.

Every countryman likes the Narendra Modi government. At the same time, the people of India are against Congress. So, it is their problem and not ours," he added. Also Read | India's COVID-19 Recovery Rate Improves to 76.61%, Over 27 Lakh Patients Recover.
