Targeting the BJP, Rahul Gandhi said that 'those who call themselves Hindus, keep talking about violence, hatred and lies 24 hours a day. These are not Hindus at all. It is clearly written in Hinduism that one should stand with the truth and never back down from the truth.'

Rahul Gandhi had said in his speech that those who call themselves Hindus, keep talking about violence-violence, hatred-hate 24 hours a day. PM Modi had also objected to this statement of Rahul Gandhi and said that calling the entire Hindu society violent is a serious matter.

Controversy over Rahul Gandhi's comment
On Monday, Rahul Gandhi gave his first speech as Leader of Opposition. Rahul Gandhi targeted the BJP and said that 'those who call themselves Hindus, they keep talking about violence, hatred and lies 24 hours a day. They are not Hindus at all. It is clearly written in Hinduism that one should stand with the truth and never back down from the truth. Non-violence should be spread.' When PM Modi objected to this statement of Rahul, Rahul Gandhi said that I have called BJP violent, Narendra Modi is not the whole Hindu society. BJP is not the whole Hindu society. RSS is not the whole Hindu society.

Amit Shah demanded an apology

Union Home Minister Amit Shah also expressed displeasure over Rahul Gandhi's comment. He said that 'such a big act cannot be hidden by making noise. The opposition leader said that those who call themselves Hindus, commit violence. They probably do not know that crores of people proudly call themselves Hindus, do they all commit violence. It is wrong to associate the feeling of violence with any religion and Rahul Gandhi should apologize.'

Rahul Gandhi also spoke about the Prime Minister

Rahul Gandhi claimed that 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi had thought of contesting elections from Ayodhya, but the survey told him that the people of Ayodhya will defeat him, so PM Modi went to Varanasi and escaped from there.' He said that PM Modi scares the BJP people, leave alone the people of Ayodhya. On this, Speaker Om Birla said that you should speak on policies, it is not right to make personal allegations against anyone.
