Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal wrote to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday regarding BJP spokesperson Printu Mahadev's televised remarks threatening Rahul Gandhi would "be shot in the chest." Venugopal called it a "cold, calculated, chilling death threat" against the Leader of Opposition, stating failure to act swiftly constitutes complicity and breaches Shah's ministerial oath. He referenced a leaked CRPF letter to Mallikarjun Kharge about Gandhi's security protocols, questioning the leak's intentions. Venugopal alleged multiple death threats against Gandhi propagated through BJP-linked social media platforms, challenging Shah to clarify whether the party endorses criminal intimidation and violence poisoning India's public life.
