Rahul Gandhi Criticizes BJP Over Minority Attacks

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has criticized the BJP government for being a 'mute spectator' amid ongoing attacks on minorities, particularly Muslims, asserting that such violence is emboldened by the government's inaction. His comments follow two recent incidents: the alleged beating of a Muslim migrant in Haryana by cow vigilantes and the assault of an elderly man on a train in Maharashtra, suspected of carrying beef. Gandhi emphasized that those in power are using hatred as a political tool, fostering a climate of fear and challenging the rule of law. He called for stringent action against the 'anarchist elements' responsible for these attacks, asserting that any assault on communal unity is an attack on the Constitution. The Government Railway Police in Maharashtra have begun an investigation into the train incident, which was captured in a viral video showing the man being assaulted by a mob. Gandhi reaffirmed his commitment to uniting India against hatred, regardless of the BJP's efforts.
