Controversy Erupts as Rahul Gandhi Allegedly Calls Hindus Violent in Parliament

In a recent session of Parliament, Rahul Gandhi, a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress (INC), sparked controversy with remarks that were perceived as derogatory towards Hindus. During a heated debate, Gandhi’s comments allegedly labeled Hindus as inherently violent, a statement that has since drawn strong reactions across political lines.

Former Chief Minister Jairam Thakur, addressing a public gathering in support of BJP candidate Hoshiyar Singh for the Dehra Vidhan Sabha by-elections, vehemently criticized Gandhi’s remarks. Thakur accused Gandhi and the Congress party of perpetuating divisive rhetoric and disrespecting Hindu sentiments. He questioned the sincerity of the Congress party’s commitment to fostering peace and harmony in society.

The controversy has intensified amid ongoing political tensions in the state of Himachal Pradesh, where the by-elections have become a battleground for political supremacy. Opposition leaders, including Thakur, have condemned Gandhi’s statement as inflammatory and demanded an apology, while supporters of the BJP have rallied behind their candidate, Singh, emphasizing the need for unity and mutual respect in political discourse.
