A heated exchange erupted in the Lok Sabha on Monday following Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s controversial remarks on the Hindu community. Gandhi asserted that historical figures advocated non-violence, contrasting this with his claim that those calling themselves Hindu today promote violence and hatred. Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervened, condemning Gandhi’s statement as offensive to Hindus. Union Home Minister Amit Shah joined the PM in demanding an apology, arguing Gandhi's comments wrongly associated violence with the Hindu religion. The incident disrupted proceedings, highlighting deep political divides over religious discourse.
