On Monday Lok Sabha saw an uproar over Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about Hindu community with Home Minister Amit Shah saying that the Congress leader should apologise over his remarks.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at Rahul Gandhi over his remarks and said calling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter.
Participating in the debate on the motion of thanks on the President’s Address, Rahul Gandhi targeted the BJP-led government and alleged there has been a systematic attack on the idea of India. ‘There has been a systematic and a full-scale assault on the idea of India, the Constitution and on the people who resisted the attack on the Constitution. Many of us were personally attacked. Some of the leaders are still in jail. Anyone who resisted the idea of concentration of power and wealth, aggression on poor and Dalits and minorities was crushed. I was attacked by the order of Government of India, by the order of the Prime Minister of India. The most enjoyable part of it was the 55 hours of interrogation by ED’, he alleged.
Home Minister Amit Shah said, ‘The Leader of Opposition has categorically said that those who call themselves Hindu talk of violence and do violence. He doesn’t know that crores of people proudly call themselves Hindu. Connecting violence with any religion is wrong. He should apologise’.
