New Delhi [India], May 5 (ANI): BJP leader RP Singh on Monday slammed Congress MP and Leader of Opposition (Lok Sabha) over a resurfaced video where a Sikh youth in the US is seen questioning the Congress over its association with leaders accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
He said that Rahul Gandhi goes outside the country and spreads enmity in society. RP Singh stated that last time, Gandhi went out, he pointed out a Sikh youth and said that he is treated as a second-class citizen.
RP Singh further said that he would file a case against Rahul Gandhi if he made such a statement in India.
"Rahul Gandhi goes outside and spreads enmity in society. The last time he went out, he pointed at a Sikh youth and said that he is treated as a second-class citizens. But it is nothing like that. Rahul Gandhi, if you have guts, make that statement in India - I will file a case against you", he said.
BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya shared a clip from the purported video of Gandhi's recent visit to the US.
"You haven't reconciled with the Sikhs," a young man tells Rahul Gandhi to his face, reminding him of the unfounded fear-mongering he engaged in during his last visit to the US. It is quite unprecedented that Rahul Gandhi is now being ridiculed not just in India, but around the world," Malviya posted on X.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary Tarun Chugh took a potshot at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi for referring to Lord Ram and other deities as "mythological".
"Lord Ram is not a myth, but the country's soul. Every being has Ram. If you wear the spectacles of Italy, how would you find Lord Ram?" Chugh told ANI.
Citing renowned poet Ramdhari Singh Dinkar's famous couplet, Chugh accused Rahul Gandhi of "insulting" Lord Ram and the Sanatan Dharma. Labelling the Congress as "Ram Virodhi", he criticised the opposition party for boycotting the consecration of Ram temple and denying the deity's existence earlier. (ANI)
