Parliament Session: Rahul Gandhi gets adamant on his Hindu remark in Parliament | ABP News

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s pointed remarks against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Lok Sabha on Monday ignited a firestorm of protests from the treasury benches. Gandhi’s assertion that those who call themselves Hindus are perpetuating violence and hatred prompted vehement objections from BJP members, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi branding the comments as a grave accusation against the entire Hindu community.

Gandhi, however, clarified that his remarks were directed at the BJP and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), stating, "The BJP, the RSS, or Modi are not the entire Hindu society." Emphasising his point, Gandhi displayed a picture of Lord Shiva, underscoring the deity’s teachings of fearlessness and non-violence. He further drew parallels with the core messages of other religions, including Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, to highlight the universal value of courage and fearlessness.
