Assam CM Demands Apology from Rahul Gandhi Over Anti-Hindu Remark

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has demanded an apology from Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for his remarks in the Lok Sabha. Sarma accused Gandhi of opposing Hindus, suggesting his speech sounded like that of an anti-Hindu leader rather than the leader of the opposition.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma called for an apology from Rahul Gandhi on Monday, claiming the Congress MP's speech in the Lok Sabha resembled that of an 'anti-Hindu side' leader rather than the leader of the opposition.

Gandhi, during a discussion on a Motion of Thanks on the President's address, criticized the BJP by stating that those who label themselves as Hindus are perpetuating 'violence and hate' around the clock. This comment incited significant protests from treasury bench members, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to declare that characterizing the entire Hindu community as violent is a grave accusation.

In response, Gandhi maintained that his remarks were directed at the BJP. Sarma, in a post on X, queried which factions were emboldening Gandhi to speak out against the Sanatanis and demanded that Gandhi apologize to the Hindu community.
