Rahul Gandhi attacks BJP, says Hindu-Muslim is being done to divert attention

Firing a fresh salvo at Bharatiya Janata Party Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, the Hindu-Muslim issue is being raised to divert attention from the real issues.

Earlier in the day Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Yatra entered the national capital and held a mega public rally at the Red Fort.

Addressing the rally Rahul Gandhi said, “It is not Narendra Modi’s government. It is Ambani and Adani government. Hindu-Muslim is being done to divert attention from the real issues. Today degree holder youths are selling ‘pakoras’.”

Referring to Bhagwad Gita and Upanishads Rahul said, “In Bharat Jodo Yatra, dogs also came but no one harmed them. Cow, buffaloes, pigs, all animals came. This Yatra is like our India, I have not seen any hatred or violence among people while walking 2,800 km, I have not seen violence or hatred anywhere in the country. But when I turn on the TV, there is hatred all the time.”

Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge also slammed BJP and said, “BJP is in fear due to Bharat Jodo Yatra and is taking the excuse of COVID. There is no COVID anywhere. Nothing happened to anyone. PM Modi himself does not wear a mask. All this is being done to create fear and break this Yatra.”

Moreover, Kamal Haasan also spoke at Red Fort and said, “Many people ask me why I am here. I am here as an Indian. My father was a Congressman. I had various ideologies and started my own political party. But when it comes to the country, all political party lines have to blur. I blurred that line and came here. I stood in front of the mirror and said to myself – this is the time when the country needs me the most. Then a voice came from inside me – ‘Kamal… do not help break India, help unite.”

However, on 7 September Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Andolan started and on Saturday it entered the national capital. Furthermore, from Haryana foot march entered Delhi after starting from NHPC metro station, Faridabad around 6 am, and after that, it also visited Rajghat.
