Union Ministers Slam Rahul Gandhi for Irresponsible Lok Sabha Speech

Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Kiren Rijiju criticized Rahul Gandhi for making 'extremely irresponsible' and 'untruthful' claims in his recent Lok Sabha speech. The ministers accused Gandhi of insulting Hindus and demanded he substantiate his claims or apologize.

On Monday, Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and Kiren Rijiju condemned Rahul Gandhi for his 'extremely irresponsible' and 'untruthful' speech in the Lok Sabha. The ministers accused Gandhi of demeaning the position of Leader of Opposition and making false claims regarding the Agnipath scheme and compensation to locals in Ayodhya.

Rijiju emphasized that Gandhi's speech not only misled the Parliament but also inflicted a 'grave insult' on Hindus by allegedly linking them to violence. BJP Rajya Sabha member Sudhanshu Trivedi supported this sentiment, referencing historical instances where Congress leaders purportedly insulted Hindus.

Highlighting the need for accountability, Vaishnaw pointed out that BJP leaders in opposition have always held their positions with responsibility and seriousness. He urged Gandhi to either substantiate his claims or issue a formal apology, echoing the call for action from the Parliamentary Affairs Minister.
