Sitharaman Critiques Rahul Gandhi’s Remarks on Hindu Society

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on Hindus, accusing him of promoting Hindu hate. Gandhi's comments during a Lok Sabha discussion sparked protests, with Prime Minister Modi intervening to highlight the severity of the statement. Gandhi clarified he was targeting BJP, not the entire Hindu society.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday strongly criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of initiating appeasement politics rooted in hatred for Hindus. Her comments were a response to Gandhi's statements during a Lok Sabha session that accused self-proclaimed Hindus of consistently engaging in violence and hate.

Sitharaman's critique came after Gandhi took a swipe at the BJP, prompting massive protests from the treasury benches. Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervened, condemning Gandhi's remarks as a serious issue, arguing that labeling the entire Hindu society as violent was deeply insensitive.

Gandhi, however, clarified that his comments were directed solely at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and not the Hindu community as a whole. Nevertheless, Sitharaman's response highlighted what she considered hypocrisy and hatred within Gandhi's political rhetoric.
