The Bharatiya Janata Party workers protested against Lok Sabha LoP and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Mumbai for his remarks made in the Parliament. The workers were seen holding posters of Rahul Gandhi with a cross sign in it as a sign of protest.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, National President of BJP Yuva Morcha Tejasvi Surya said that the BJP Yuva Morcha will hold protests outside Congress offices across the country on Tuesday against Rahul Gandhi's 'Hindu' comment made in the Parliament on Monday. Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in the Lower House, Delhi BJP MP Manoj Tiwari said that the Parliament is not a place to mislead the public and spread fake information.

"Parliament is not a place to spread fake information or mislead the public. Rahul Gandhi had a lot of fake information in the Parliament yesterday. At the time, concerning ministers exposed his lies. It is a part of the procedure to expunge from records the lies told on the floor of House," he said. Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh called Rahul Gandhi "immature" and said that the way the LoP was speaking in the Parliament looked like he was addressing a public rally.

"Rahul Gandhi is still immature. He has still not matured. He might have become the LoP but he is still not mature. He was speaking as if he were addressing a public rally. There were no facts or truth. He just levelled allegations. He should be mature if he has become the LoP," Singh said. After Rahul Gandhi's remarks against the central government led by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) created a political uproar in the country, several portions of his maiden speech were expunged from the records of the Parliament.

The portions expunged include his comments on Hindus and PM Narendra Modi-BJP-RSS among others. Rahul Gandhi in his speech in Lok Sabha on Monday afternoon, during the debate on the motion of thanks on President Draupadi Murmu's address accused the BJP and RSS of preaching and spreading violence and hatred. His remarks drew protests from the Treasury benches.

The Bharatiya Janata Party - led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh among others stood up to express their protest and rebut the Congress MP's remarks. The BJP leaders accused the Congress MP "of speaking lies, misleading the House and terming the entire Hindu community violent". The Congress hit back with counter-allegations against the Modi government.

Rahul Gandhi invoked Lord Shiva, Prophet Mohammad, Guru Nanak, Jesus Christ, Lord Budha and Lord Mahavir, saying that he had taken the idea of fearlessness from their teachings. PM Modi slammed Rahul Gandhi during his speech. "Calling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter," the Prime Minister said. Home Minister Amit Shah demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi.

However, Gandhi supported his statement by clarifying that the BJP and the RSS are not representative of the entire Hindu community. (ANI)
