Union Minister Giriraj Singh Criticizes Rahul Gandhi’s Visit to Manipur
Patna (Bihar) [India], July 8: Union Minister and BJP leader Giriraj Singh criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for visiting Manipur but not West Bengal during incidents involving Hindu women. Singh called Gandhi ‘Yuvaraj’ and claimed his visit could worsen Manipur’s situation.
Singh said, ‘Some people have become habitual of political touring, but the ‘prince’ was silent when Hindu women in Bengal were beaten on roads, that too according to the Sharia law. When the political situation is improving in Manipur, he has gone to deteriorate the situation of the state.’
Singh also responded to Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s comments on Modi and China, defending Modi’s stance on territorial integrity. Singh asserted, ‘33,000-34,000 sq. km land, which Nehru Ji had given, apart from it, Modi Ji hasn’t let anybody to take an inch of land. I urge Kharge Ji to not spread lies. It was Nehru Ji who deceived India and its land. He gave 34,000 sq. km of land to China and Congress should apologize for it.’
Singh further criticized Congress leader Shashi Tharoor for mocking BJP’s slogan of 400 paar, stating that Congress should accept their defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
On the issue of fresh terror encounters in Jammu and Kashmir, Singh stated, ‘During Congress rule, from Jammu and Kashmir to Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Bihar, there were terrorist attacks in the nation. But now, these terrorists stay hidden like rats in their holes and when they show up, they are sent to hell and the same thing happened in Kashmir. Congress should refrain from demoralizing the security, paramilitary, and military forces of Jammu and Kashmir.’
Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi visited relief camps in Manipur, showing support to violence victims. He visited the Jiribam Higher Secondary School relief camp and the relief camp at Sadbhavna Mandap in Tuibong, Churachandpur district. The Congress party posted on X, ‘LoP Rahul Gandhi visits Jiribam Higher Secondary School relief camp, meets victims of violence and offers support in their darkest hour. His third visit to Manipur post-violence shows his unwavering commitment to the people’s cause.’
