New Delhi:<\/strong> A heated debate erupted in the Lok Sabha on Monday as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress locked horns over remarks made by Rahul Gandhi concerning the Hindu community. The controversy led to interventions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, who demanded an apology from the Congress leader.<\/p>\n The controversy flared as Rahul, the opposition leader going against the rule, began showing religious posters starting from almighty Shiv Ji\u2019s photo.<\/p>\n Rahul frequently referenced God Shiva, asserting \u201cdarao mat (don\u2019t scare people).\u201d He stated, \u201cObserving God Shiva\u2019s image, one would realise that Hindus do not propagate fear or hatred, unlike the BJP, which does so constantly,\u201d Rahul Gandhi remarked. He charged the BJP with intimidating minorities and inciting hatred and violence against Muslims, Sikhs, and Christians. The Congress leader stressed that all religions advocate bravery, mentioning Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism to highlight the significance of being fearless.<\/p>\n PM Modi, in a rare interjection, criticised Gandhi\u2019s comments, stating, \u201cCalling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter.\u201d He added that democracy and the Constitution have taught him to take the Leader of Opposition seriously.<\/p>\n Rahul Gandhi, however, quickly retorted, \u201cBJP and Modi are not the entire Hindu society.\u201d He emphasized that neither the BJP, RSS, nor Prime Minister Modi represent the entirety of Hindu society.<\/p>\n Home Minister Amit Shah reacting strongly, said that connecting violence with any religion is wrong. \u201cThe Leader of Opposition has categorically said that those who call themselves Hindu talk of violence and do violence. He doesn\u2019t know that crores of people proudly call themselves Hindu,\u201d Shah stated, demanding an apology from Gandhi.<\/p>\n Shah also brought up historical events such as the Emergency and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots to challenge Gandhi\u2019s right to speak about non-violence.<\/p>\n BJP members took strong objection to Rahul Gandhi\u2019s remarks in the Lok Sabha.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ad_2] [ad_1] New Delhi: A heated debate erupted in the Lok Sabha on Monday as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress locked horns over remarks made by Rahul Gandhi concerning the Hindu community.
