The BJP has vociferously condemned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for allegedly ‘abusing’ Hindus during a Lok Sabha session. The party claims Gandhi’s controversial remarks were aimed at appeasing voters in Kerala’s Wayanad, where his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is contesting a bypoll.
Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva and Lok Sabha MP Manoj Tiwari demanded an immediate apology from Gandhi for his ‘undignified’ behavior, specifically accusing him of calling Hindus ‘violent’ on Monday. ‘He perhaps tried to please the people of Wayanad by abusing Hindus,’ Sachdeva asserted.
Tiwari further alleged that Gandhi showed disrespect to Lord Shiva and Guru Nanak Dev during his Lok Sabha speech. Gandhi’s comments ignited heated protests from BJP members, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to emphasize the seriousness of labeling the entire Hindu society as violent. Gandhi countered, stating that his remarks were directed at the BJP, not the Hindu community at large.
