The Congress on Monday slammed the BJP for its allegation that Rahul Gandhi encouraged violence against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying “cheap politics” should not be played on the issue of security of leaders.
The BJP on Sunday had targeted the Leader of Opposition following the assassination attempt on former US president Donald Trump.
“Third Time Fail Rahul Gandhi has often encouraged and justified violence against Prime Minister Modi, who he has lost election to, several times now. How can India ever forget how Punjab Police, then under the Congress, deliberately compromised PM’s security, when his convoy was left stranded on a flyover,” BJP’s IT department head Amit Malviya had said.
Prime Minister Modi and the entire BJP has been instigating people against the leadership of the Congress party by “spreading vitriolic” lies against Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and the entire family, he alleged.
“He (Modi) also mysteriously withdrew their SPG security,” Khera said.
Donald Trump survived an attempt on his life when a young gunman fired multiple shots at the former US president at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, injuring his right ear.
