Insult to Hindu Community

Vaishnaw accused Gandhi of insulting the entire Hindu community by labeling them as violent. He mentioned past instances where Congress leaders made similar statements.

Rahul Gandhi’s Response

Rahul Gandhi responded by stating that BJP and RSS do not represent the entire Hindu society. He emphasized non-violence and fearlessness as core values in Hinduism and other Indian religions.
