‘Those who call themselves Hindus commit violence-violence’, uproar in Lok Sabha over Rahul Gandhi’s statement
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi gave his address on the motion of thanks to the President’s address. During this, he said that the BJP-ruled central government attacked him and took away his house. He said that the country has protected the Constitution together, it would have been good if the people of BJP would now repeat ‘Jai Samvidhaan’ after me. He said that a systematic, full-scale attack was launched on millions of people who opposed the idea of India, the Constitution and the ideas proposed by the BJP. Many of us were personally attacked, including me. Rahul said that a systematic and full-scale attack was launched on people who opposed the idea of India, the Constitution and the attack on the Constitution. Many of us were personally attacked. Some leaders are still in jail. He said that anyone who opposed the idea of centralization of power and wealth, aggression on the poor, Dalits and minorities was crushed. I was attacked by the order of the Government of India, by the order of the Prime Minister of India…The most enjoyable part of this was the 55-hour interrogation by the ED. Rahul Gandhi claimed that the PM says that (Mahatma) Gandhi is dead and Gandhi was resurrected by a film. Can you understand the ignorance?… Another thing I noticed is that there is not just one religion that talks about courage. All religions talk about courage. Rahul Gandhi said that all our great men have talked about non-violence and ending fear…but, those who call themselves Hindus only talk about violence, hatred, untruth…you are not Hindus at all. After this, there was an uproar in the House. Prime Minister Modi also interrupted him during this.
