Rahul Gandhi Criticizes BJP on Violence Against Minorities

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has criticized the BJP government for its inaction amid rising violence against minority communities, particularly Muslims, accusing it of being a 'mute spectator'. He highlighted two recent incidents: the fatal beating of a Muslim migrant in Haryana by cow vigilantes and an assault on an elderly Muslim man on a train in Maharashtra, both fueled by suspicions related to beef. Gandhi claims that the government's failure to act has emboldened hate-fueled mobs, which are undermining the rule of law and communal harmony. He called for strict legal action against those responsible for such attacks and emphasized that any assault on communal unity is an attack on the Constitution. Gandhi vowed that the Congress party would continue its fight against hatred in India, asserting that they would prevail despite the BJP's efforts. His remarks come amidst significant public outrage and arrests related to these violent incidents.
