BJP’s OBC MPs hold protest against Rahul Gandhi, demand apology from him

OBC MPs of the Bharatiya Janata Party staged a protest on Tuesday in front of the Gandhi statue at the Parliament premises, demanding an apology from Congress leader over his ‘Modi surname’ remark.

Earlier today, the saffron party once again commenced a fresh attack on Rahul Gandhi, stating that the Congress leader was “pretending not to be a coward” after apologising to the Supreme Court of India for his previous remarks.

This comes amid the political controversy after the former Wayanad MP was disqualified from the Lok Sabha following his conviction by a Surat court in a defamation case over his ‘Modi surname’ remark.

Union Minister Smriti Irani, while addressing a press conference, said that the court has convicted Rahul Gandhi for “abusing” the OBC community.
“He (Rahul Gandhi) abused and accused PM Modi in Parliament but could not verify his own statement by authenticating it with his own signature.

Rahul Gandhi tendered an unconditional apology in the Supreme Court for his Chowkidar Chor hai’ jibe against Prime Minister Modi during the Lok Sabha polls in 2019.

Smriti Irani went on to say that, “In an attempt to insult PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi also insulted the entire OBC community.”

This is not the first time Gandhi’s family has tried to insult people from Dalit or backward communities. Rahul Gandhi’s inability to develop the humility to beg the forgiveness of the OBC community in our country is just another manifestation of the political arrogance known as the Gandhi family.
