Himachal Pradesh: Anurag Thakur says Congress wants to give property of your children to Muslims

The Congress on Saturday moved the Election Commission of India over Anurag Thakur's speech in Himachal Pradesh in which he reiterated that Congress would give 'your property' to Muslims -- a claim that has taken the centrestage in the political discourse amid the ongoing elections.

When Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier said the Congress would redistribute wealth if they come to power and that would include women's gold and mangalsutra, the Congress refuted it and complained to the EC. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge wrote to PM Modi seeking time so that he could explain Congress manifesto to the prime minister.

But the controversy kept raging with Anurag Thakur fuelling it.

Anurag Thakur said Congress would snatch people's property and distribute among Muslims.
