Former minister Ramanath Rai criticised the BJP for misusing and misguiding public over Congress leader and leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi’s parliamentary speech.
Addressing the media on Thursday, at the Congress office, he said, the only party that has given land to the poor is Congress, and if poor people have land on Thursday, it is because of the Congress party. Nowadays, the Congress party is facing many false allegations, and the BJP has tried to misuse the words used by Rahul Gandhi to misguide people and tarnish the Nehru family’s name. Motilal Nehru and Jawaharlal Nehru fought for the independence of the country, and Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi gave their lives for this country.
On BJP Ministers’ statements claiming that Congress members are silent about condemning Rahul Gandhi because they are hoping for positions, Ramanath Rai responded, we have spoken our minds. What Rahul Gandhi said is in the media, and anyone who has seen his speech can attest that no objectionable words were used. He said there is no space for violence in Hinduism or Sanatan Dharma.
When asked why the Congress party is not defending against BJP protests, Ramanath Rai said, we should check the degrees of those people who are protesting. Jagadguru Shankaracharya himself has said that the media is showing only one side of the truth and has advised people always to speak the truth. We trust and believe the words of Jagadguru, as we are not influenced by BJP’s Vishwaguru.
