Congress MP Rahul Gandhi came under fire on Wednesday from Union Home Minister Amit Shah for allegedly making “anti-India” and “anti-national” statements while traveling overseas. Gandhi, according to him, “has always hurt sentiments and threatened the nation’s security.”
Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party have made it a habit to stand with those that plot to split the nation and to make anti-national remarks. Rahul Gandhi has consistently endangered national security and offended feelings, whether it is through endorsing the JKNC’s anti-national and anti-reservation agenda in J&K or by making anti-Indian remarks on international forums,” the user said.
“Rahul Gandhi’s statement lays bare the Congress’s politics of causing rifts on the lines of regionalism, religion, and linguistic differences.”
Regarding reservations, the Union Home Minister further attacked Gandhi, stating that “Rahul Gandhi has once again brought the Congress’s anti-reservation face to the forefront by speaking about abolishing reservations in the country.”
“Eventually, the ideas running through his head came out in words. I would like to inform Rahul Gandhi that nobody can interfere with the security of the country or eliminate reservations while the BJP is in power.”
Amit Shah’s tweet was sent out the day after Rahul Gandhi stirred up controversy with his remarks on religious freedom and reservations in India.
“We should think about scrapping reservations only when India becomes a fair place,” the Congress MP stated during an interactive event at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Furthermore, India is currently an unfair place.
The Congress MP stated during a Virginia event that the “fight (in India) is about whether a Sikh will be allowed to wear a turban…whether a Sikh will be allowed to wear a kada or go to the Gurudwara” in regards to religious freedom in that country. That is the subject of the conflict, which affects all religions, not just Sikhs.
Leading BJP figures have sharply criticized him for his remarks, which have created a political tempest.
