Congress Slams BJP over it's 'Rahul Encourages Violence Against PM Modi' Remark

Published On: July 15, 2024 - The assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump sent shockwaves across the globe. However, in India, it quickly escalated into a political controversy, with the BJP and Congress engaging in mutual attacks. Mere hours after former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was shot at during a rally in Pennsylvania, the Bharatiya Janata Party accused Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, of inciting violence against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Congress condemned the BJP for its allegation that Rahul Gandhi encouraged violence against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that 'cheap politics' should not be played on the issue of leaders' security.
