Rahul Gandhi advocates standing with truth and following the path of non-violence.

Rahul Gandhi recently spoke about the teachings of religions. He emphasized that every religion teaches us not to scare others and not to be afraid ourselves. He mentioned that standing for truth and following the path of non-violence are also important lessons taught by every religion.

Rahul Gandhi’s remarks were shared on Instagram. He also criticized the BJP for spreading fear and stated that the INDIA alliance embraces the idea of protecting the constitution and democracy. Following Rahul Gandhi’s maiden speech in Lok Sabha as Leader of Opposition, it sparked political controversies.

BJP leaders accused him of speaking lies and misleading the House by terming the entire Hindu community as violent. This led to a heated debate during the discussion on the motion of thanks on the President’s address. Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi, while the Congress retaliated with counter allegations against the Modi government.

During the debate, Rahul Gandhi targeted the BJP-led government over the Agniveer scheme. He claimed that Agniveers serving for four years would not receive a pension and criticized the government’s treatment of Agniveers. Additionally, he referred to the Hindu symbol ‘Abhayamudra’ as the symbol of the Congress party, emphasizing its significance in Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism, and other Indian religions.

He also expressed his disappointment with those who identify as Hindu, stating that they only talk about violence, hatred, and untruth. This story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.
