Congress compares Rahul's politics to Gandhi
Gulf Today
|May 06, 2025
Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi's, comments on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, made during an interaction at Brown University in the US, have ignited a political firestorm, with the Congress projecting him as a statesman in the mould of Mahatma Gandhi and the BJP accusing the party of staging a “drama” and perpetuating a decades-long cover-up.
-
While responding to a question on the Congress’ role during the 1984 riots, LoP Gandhi said, “A lot of those things happened when I was not there, but I am more than happy to take responsibility for everything the Congress party has ever done wrong in its history. I have publicly stated that what happened in the 80s was wrong. I have been to the Golden Temple multiple times; I have extremely good relationships with the Sikh community in India.”
