Congress activists gathered in Bengaluru to denounce remarks made by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, demanding an apology.
Earlier today, a contingent of Congress supporters assembled at a prominent spot in Bengaluru to protest remarks made by Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar. The demonstrators carried placards and chanted slogans calling for accountability and an immediate apology.
Chandrasekhar's statements, which were aired on a televised debate, triggered sharp criticism from opposition leaders who said the comments were insensitive and politically motivated. Party officials argued that such rhetoric undermines communal harmony and the dignity of public discourse.
Congress leaders addressed the crowd, urging the minister to retract his words and seek reconciliation with affected communities. They also announced plans to file a formal complaint with the parliamentary ethics committee.
Police personnel were deployed to manage the gathering and ensure peace, while local authorities monitored the situation closely. No incidents of violence were reported as the protest concluded after a few hours.
