View In AppSeveral portions of Leader Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi's speech in the House on Monday have been expunged from the Lok Sabha's record. The portions expunged include his comments on Hindus, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP, and the RSS.
This was Rahul Gandhi’s first address as the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha. At the beginning of his speech, the Congress MP brandished a copy of the Constitution and a photo of Lord Shiva while criticising the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
Rahul Gandhi’s comments equating BJP with violent Hindus sparked strong protests from the saffron party MPs and prompted an intervention from Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi stood to interrupt the Congress MP, stating, “Accusing the entire Hindu community of violence is a very serious allegation.” To this, the Congress said that Rahul Gandhi was only referring to the BJP and not the entire Hindu community.
