BJP Erupts After Rahul Gandhi's Controversial Remarks in Parliament

The BJP protested inside and outside Parliament following Rahul Gandhi's assertion that ruling BJP members are not true Hindus, as they promote division and violence. Prime Minister Modi, along with other ministers, demanded an apology, accusing Gandhi of insulting Hindus and spreading hatred.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) sparked protests both inside and outside Parliament on Monday, following controversial statements made by the Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi. Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Gandhi accused members of the ruling BJP of not being true Hindus, claiming they promote division and violence.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the matter serious, stating that Gandhi's comments branded the Hindu community as violent. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, along with other key ministers, demanded an immediate public apology from Gandhi. Shah expressed his outrage in a post on X, saying Gandhi insulted 'crores of Hindus' by suggesting that Hindus lie, spread hatred, and commit violence.

Union Health Minister and BJP President JP Nadda criticized Gandhi for combining lies and hatred in his speech. Nadda deemed it Gandhi's worst performance, accusing him of flawed logic and a lack of humility. Other BJP leaders such as Union Ministers G. Kishan Reddy and Krishan Pal Gurjar, and BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal strongly condemned Gandhi's remarks, asserting they were baseless and undignified.
