Rahul Gandhi, in a heated Lok Sabha session, launched an intense critique of the BJP, accusing its leaders of perpetuating violence and hatred. The opposition leader emphasized that his comments were directed solely at the ruling party, not the broader Hindu community. His statements drew immediate and strong reactions from BJP members, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, who demanded an apology for allegedly maligning the Hindu community.
During the session, Gandhi invoked historical and religious figures across various faiths to underline the principle of fearlessness and non-violence. He argued that true Hinduism, like other religions, advocates for truth and non-violence, accusing BJP members of straying from these principles. Modi intervened, underscoring the gravity of Gandhi's allegations, while Shah linked Gandhi's party to past events of violence, including the Emergency and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Gandhi's speech also touched on several contentious issues, from the Agnipath military recruitment scheme to the constitutional and farmers' issues, claiming the government's policies were divisive and harmful. Several BJP ministers, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, countered these allegations, leading to a highly charged parliamentary session. The political fray continued post-session, with BJP leaders holding a press conference to refute Gandhi's claims.
