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.”
“First day, worst show!
Lies + Hindu hatred = Rahul Gandhi Ji in Parliament.
Third-time fail LoP has a knack for agitated, flawed logic. His speech today has shown that neither has he understood the mandate of 2024 nor does he have any humility.”
“Rahul Gandhi must immediately apologise to all Hindus for terming them ‘violent.’ This is the same person who was telling foreign diplomats Hindus are terrorists. Intrinsic hate to Hindus must stop.”
“Leader of the Opposition is now a five-time MP but has not learnt Parliamentary norms and does not understand civility. Time and again he reduces the levels of discourse. His utterances towards the Chair today were in very poor taste. He owes an apology,” Mr. Nadda raged.
