Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi allegedly making anti national statements in the US.
The reaction of Amit Shah comes after the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, who on his tour to the United States, allegedly made several critical remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“Whether it is supporting the JKNC’s anti-national and anti-reservation agenda in J&K or making anti-India statements on foreign platforms, Rahul Gandhi has always threatened the nation’s security and hurt sentiments,” Amit Shah posted on X.
Shah also blasted Gandhi on the issue of reservation, saying that “by speaking about abolishing reservations in the country, Rahul Gandhi has once again brought the Congress’s anti-reservation face to the forefront”.
“The thoughts that were in his mind eventually found their way out as words. I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that as long as the BJP is there, neither can anyone abolish reservations nor can anyone mess with the nation’s security.”
During his interaction with students of Georgetown University in the US, Gandhi said, “We will think of scrapping reservations when India is a fair place. And India is not a fair place.”
“When you look at the financial numbers, tribals get 10 paise out of ₹100; Dalits get ₹5 out of ₹100, and OBCs get a similar number. The fact of the matter is that they’re not getting participation,” the Congress leader said.
Responding to Rahul Gandhi’s statement, Amit Shah said, “By speaking about abolishing reservations in the country, Rahul Gandhi has once again brought the Congress’s anti-reservation face to the forefront. The thoughts that were in his mind eventually found their way out as words.”
“I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that as long as the BJP is there, neither can anyone abolish reservations nor can anyone mess with the nation’s security,” the Union home minister added.
