Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Hindu’ remark during his maiden speech in Lok Sabha on Monday invited severe reaction from the ruling party.
There was a great deal of chaos and commotion in the Lower House during Rahul Gandhi’s first speech as the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha.
The Congress MP began by taking aim at the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideologue Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and waving a copy of the Constitution and a picture of Lord Shiva.
In addition to the BJP MPs’ vocal objections, Prime Modi made an intervention in response to Rahul’s remark on “Hindus.” Home Minister Amit Shah demanded apology from the Congress’ MP for “linking” the BJP with violence.
Protesting against Rahul, Prime Minister declared, “It is a very serious matter to call the entire Hindu community violent.”
Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Hindu’ remark that compared BJP to “violent Hindus” infuriated Home Minister Amit Shah. The HM, in turn insisted that the Congressman issue an apology.
Amit Shah, making stern statement against the speech, said, ““He doesn’t know that crores of Indians in this country call themselves Hindu with pride. Does he want to say that each one of them talks violence? You cannot associate violence with any religion. I demand that he apologise.”
Rahul Gandhi’s accusation against BJP of invoking violence and hatred for furthering its political interests, invoked chaos.
