"No knowledge of India's Sanatana culture": BJP MP Deepak Prakash attacks Rahul Gandhi - World News Network

New Delhi [India], July 1 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party MP Deepak Prakash on Monday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in the Lok Sabha and said that the latter has insulted Hindus all over the world and has “no sense or knowledge of India’s Sanatana culture”.
“Rahul Gandhi lacks boundaries. He has no sense or knowledge of India’s Sanatana culture… He has insulted Hindus all over the world. He should apologise,” he said.
Earlier today, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami came down heavily on Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi saying that he is “immature” and that his speech is a “heap of lies”.
Bharatiya Janata Party MP Kangana Ranaut also lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in the Parliament and asked him to apologise for “insulting” the Hindu religion.
Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks in the Lok Sabha and said that the latter has taken up a position of Leader of Opposition for the first time and has made very irresponsible statements thus bringing the level of politics down.
This comes after a row erupted over the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi’s remarks, wherein he accused the BJP of spreading “violence” and “hatred”. Following this, both and BJP and Congress have sparred over his remarks.
Earlier in the day, during the motion of thanks of the President’s address, Rahul Gandhi targeted the BJP-led government and alleged there has been “a systematic attack” on the idea of India.
“There has been a systematic and full-scale assault on the idea of India, the Constitution and on the people who resisted the attack on the Constitution. Many of us were personally attacked. Some of the leaders are still in jail. Anyone who resisted the idea of concentration of power and wealth, aggression on poor and Dalits and minorities was crushed…I was attacked by the order of the Government of India, by the order of the Prime Minister of India…The most enjoyable part of it was the 55 hours of interrogation by ED…,” he alleged.
He also called the Hindu symbol ‘Abhayamudra’ which gestures fearlessness, reassurance and safety, as the symbol of the Congress party.
“Abhayamudra is the symbol of Congress…The Abhayamudra is the gesture of fearlessness, is the gesture of reassurance and safety, which dispels fear and accords divine protection and bliss in Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism and other Indian religions…All our great men have spoken about non-violence and finishing fear…But, those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth…Aap Hindu ho hi nahi,” the Congress leader said.
