Rahul Gandhi and PM Modi Clash in Lok Sabha Over ‘Hindu’ Remark; Amit Shah Demands Apology

The Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, caused a stir in the Lok Sabha on Monday when he said that people identifying as Hindus “only talk about violence, hatred, and lies.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi interrupted Gandhi’s speech to say that he was concerned about the portrayal of the entire Hindu population as violent. Union Minister Amit Shah sought an apology from Rahul Gandhi following the incident, which took place during a verbal sparring match between the MPs of the ruling NDA and the opposition.

The symbol of the Congress is Abhayamudra. The Abhayamudra is a gesture of courage, assurance, and safety that drives out fear and grants heavenly protection and happiness in Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism, and other Indian religions. All of our great men have talked about ending fear and using nonviolence. However, individuals identifying as Hindus only discuss violence, bigotry, and falsehoods. Gandhi remarked in the House, “You are not Hindus.”

“As per the Prime Minister, Mahatma Gandhi has passed away, but a movie has revived him. Is it possible for you to comprehend the ignorance?… I also observed that several different religions discuss bravery. “Every religion talks about bravery,” he continued. PM Modi raised his voice amid the clamour, criticising Gandhi’s statement. “Calling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter,” he stated.

Amit Shah, a union minister, criticized Rahul Gandhi’s statement and called for an apology. “Those who identify as Hindus both talk and act violently, according to the Leader of the Opposition. He is unaware that millions of people proudly identify as Hindus. It is incorrect to associate violence with any faith. He ought to apologize,” he murmured.
