Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing critique of Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday, condemning the Congress leader for his recent remarks made during his visit to the United States.
Shah accused Gandhi of aligning with divisive forces and making detrimental statements about India, which he claimed jeopardize the country’s unity and security.
In a pointed post on X, Shah defended the BJP’s stance on reservation policies and national security, asserting that Gandhi’s actions; both in India and abroad were harmful to the nation’s integrity.
“Standing with forces that conspire to divide the country and making anti-national statements have become a habit for Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party. Whether it is supporting the JKNC’s anti-national and anti-reservation agenda in J&K or making anti-India statements on foreign platforms, Rahul Gandhi has always threatened the nation’s security and hurt sentiments,” Shah posted.
Shah continued, “Rahul Gandhi’s statement lays bare the Congress’s politics of causing rifts on the lines of regionalism, religion, and linguistic differences.”
The Home Minister also emphasized the BJP’s commitment to maintaining reservation policies and safeguarding national security.
Shah asserted, “By speaking about abolishing reservations in the country, Rahul Gandhi has once again brought the Congress’s anti-reservation face to the forefront. The thoughts in his mind eventually found their way out as words.”
“I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that as long as the BJP is there, neither can anyone abolish reservations nor can anyone mess with the nation’s security,” he further added.
Gandhi, currently on a three-day visit to the US, was asked during an interaction at Georgetown University about alternative methods to enhance grassroots institutions beyond caste-based reservations.
