We Must Support Truth and Embrace the Path of Non-Violence”: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi recently expressed the belief that every religion teaches the importance of not inducing fear and remaining unafraid. He emphasized the value of standing for truth and advocating for non-violence in every religion. Gandhi made these comments on Instagram, asserting that these principles are essential in protecting democracy and the constitution from fear mongering.

His statements were made amidst intense political debates, with BJP leaders criticizing him and the Congress party defending his remarks. During his first speech as the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Gandhi targeted the BJP-led government over various issues, including the Agniveer scheme, which he claimed was unfair to its participants. He also asserted that the Hindu symbol ‘Abhayamudra’ signifies fearlessness, reassurance, and safety, and stated that it represents the Congress party.

The political debate on the Motion Of Thanks on the President’s Address escalated further when PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah condemned Gandhi’s remarks, with the BJP demanding an apology from him. Subsequently, both the BJP and the Congress held press conferences to voice their respective positions on the matter. Overall, Gandhi’s speech sparked significant political heat, with opposing parties engaging in heated exchanges over his comments.

However, Gandhi’s stance on the importance of non-violence and fearlessness in religion and politics remained central to the discussion.
