In a recent political stir, Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has demanded an apology from Congress MP Rahul Gandhi for his controversial remarks about the Hindu community. Addressing the ruling BJP in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi criticized party members for engaging in 'violence and hate'.

He declared that true Hindus embody non-violence and fearlessness, contrasting this with what he perceived as the BJP's actions. 'All religions and all our great men talk about non-violence and fearlessness, but those who call themselves Hindus only talk about violence, hatred, and falsehood....Aap Hindu ho hi nahi (You are not Hindus),' Gandhi asserted.

In response, Sawant condemned Gandhi's comments, labeling the Congress party as 'arrogant'. He took to social media to voice his disapproval, stating, 'This is INC's Nafarat ki Dukan! Calling Hindus 'Hinsak' is a brazen insult and disrespect towards Hindus. LoP @RahulGandhi must apologize to the House and Crores of Hindus all over the world.' Sawant further accused the Congress and I.N.D.I leaders of mocking the Sanatana Dharma and Hindus, calling it 'highly condemnable'.
