The Bharatiya Janata Party, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, strongly countered Rahul Gandhi’s speech in Parliament on Monday afternoon. They accused the Congress MP and new Leader of the Opposition of insulting all Hindus.
This response followed Mr. Gandhi’s fierce critique of the BJP and its ideological mentor, the RSS, claiming neither truly represented all Hindus. During his speech, he brandished a copy of the Constitution and photos of religious figures.

BJP chief JP Nadda, after experiencing fractious moments in the Rajya Sabha, targeted Mr. Gandhi with a series of posts on X, accusing the Congress leader of “blatantly lying.”
