New Delhi [India], July 1 (ANI): Coming hard on the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, over his remarks on the Hindu community, BJP leader CR Kesavan said on Monday that the Congress MP, in his first speech as LoP, wasted no time peddling “politics of hate” in the House.
He also asserted that Rahul Gandhi has insulted the faith and the sentiments of millions of Hindus.
“Rahul Gandhi today has demeaned the dignity of a sacred parliament and sullied the dignity of our Lok Sabha. Rahul Gandhi in his first speech as LoP, wasted no time peddling perilous politics of hate and he opened his ‘Nafrat ki Dukan’ right there in the Lok Sabha today. He has insulted the faith and the sentiments of millions of Hindus today by frontally attacking them,” Kesavan said.
“Is this a way any responsible LoP conducts himself? When he spoke today by saying that all the people who call themselves Hindus are violent and untrue, it reveals the bigoted and parochial mindset of Rahul Gandhi. These are just not reprehensible and shameful, but is also dangerous,” he added.
Participating in the debate on the Motion Of Thanks to the President for her address to a joint sitting of Parliament, 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.
“Abhayamudra is the symbol of Congress…The Abhayamudra is the gesture of fearlessness, is the gesture of reassurance and safety, which dispels fear and accords divine protection and bliss in Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism and other Indian religions….All our great men have spoken about non-violence and finishing fear…But, those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth…Aap Hindu ho hi nahi,” the Congress leader said.
