Rahul Gandhi's inaugural address as the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha has ignited a political firestorm. His remarks about ruling party leaders not embodying true Hindu values due to their engagement in 'violence and hate' triggered outrage.
Responding fiercely, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath demanded an apology from Gandhi for allegedly disrespecting the Hindu community and the 'soul of Mother India'. Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined in, accusing Gandhi of labeling the entire Hindu community as violent.
Adityanath claimed Gandhi's statements were aimed at defaming Uttar Pradesh and Ayodhya, further emphasizing the state's developmental efforts and compensation given to Ayodhya's residents. The controversy continues as both sides uphold their stance.
