A defiant Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday asserted that while the truth might be expunged in the political sphere dominated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it remains unchanged in reality. This statement came hours after significant sections of his Lok Sabha speech were deleted by the chair.
Addressing reporters in the Parliament complex, Gandhi stated, ''Whatever I had to say, I have said and that is the truth. They can expunge as much as they want, but the truth will prevail.''
The Congress leader's comments were in response to questions regarding his remarks during the discussion on the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address. This was Gandhi's first speech as the Leader of Opposition, during which he launched a fierce attack on the BJP, accusing its leaders of sowing communal divisions.
Gandhi's assertions led to massive protests from treasury benches and a rare intervention from Prime Minister Modi, who criticized Gandhi for allegedly labeling the entire Hindu community as violent.
