Himachal Pradesh Minister Jagat Singh Negi Calls Rahul Gandhi’s Speech Historic

Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], July 3: Himachal Pradesh Minister Jagat Singh Negi praised the first speech of Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, as historic. Negi stated, “The speech made by the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was historic. He said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi were not the sole custodians of Hinduism.”

Negi emphasized, “We all are Hindus. A Hindu lives his life on the principles of truth and non-violence and wants the country united from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.”

In his speech during the debate on the Motion of Thanks on President Draupadi Murmu’s address, Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP and RSS of preaching and spreading violence and hatred. His remarks drew protests from the Treasury benches.

Responding to Gandhi’s remarks, PM Modi said, “Today, there is a conspiracy to falsely accuse Hindus, a serious conspiracy is unfolding. It has been said that Hindus are violent. This is your culture, this is your character, this is your thinking, this is your hatred. These are the actions against Hindus in this country. This country will not forget it for centuries.”

After Rahul Gandhi’s speech created political heat, several portions of his address targeting the central government were expunged from the records of Parliament. However, Gandhi backed his remarks, stating that the entire BJP and RSS do not represent the entire Hindu community.
