The youth wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organized a protest on Tuesday outside the Congress office, accusing Rahul Gandhi of making 'anti-Hindu' statements during a Lok Sabha session. Led by Arun Prabhat, members of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) went as far as burning an effigy of Gandhi. Congress workers, led by spokesperson Sahil Sharma, held a counter-protest accusing BJP of twisting Gandhi's words to mislead the public.

During his speech in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi accused BJP leaders of dividing the nation along communal lines, which led to immediate backlash from the treasury benches. Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticized Gandhi for his alleged attack on the Hindu community. In response, Gandhi clarified that his remarks were aimed specifically at the BJP.

Arun Prabhat condemned Gandhi's statements as a threat to national unity, while Congress spokesperson Sahil Sharma defended Gandhi, arguing that his speech focused on exposing BJP's failures like the NEET paper leak, the Agnipath scheme, and the situation in Manipur. Sharma emphasized that an attack on BJP, RSS, or VHP should not be construed as an attack on Hinduism.
