On Wednesday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for saying India only became truly free after the Ram temple was completed. Gandhi said that this statement is an insult to every Indian and can be seen as treason. Speaking at the opening of the new Congress headquarters, he mentioned that party workers are battling against the BJP and RSS, which he believes have taken control of important government institutions and are misusing law enforcement against political opponents.
Gandhi argued that Bhagwat’s claim implies that the Indian Constitution and the fight for independence from British rule are not valid. He expressed that such statements are unacceptable; in most other countries, someone making such claims would face serious legal consequences.
“It’s time to stop listening to this nonsense,” Gandhi stated. He emphasized the Congress party has always worked with the people of India, building the nation on the values of the Constitution. He urged everyone to spread these important ideas.
He also criticized the Election Commission for not providing information about the increase in voter numbers from one election to another in Maharashtra. Gandhi questioned why the Election Commission is keeping this information secret, stating that it’s their responsibility to ensure fairness in elections. “We have a serious problem with our election system,” he concluded.
