Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa said on Wednesday that Rahul Gandhi is fomenting unrest across India, likening his actions to the 1984 riots.
Delhi's environment minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa publicly accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday of deliberately sowing disorder throughout the country. Sirsa asserted that Gandhi's conduct is reminiscent of the communal violence that erupted in 1984.
He further suggested that the senior politician is treading the same path once taken by his father and his grandmother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, implying a continuity of disruptive politics.
The statement was made without any immediate response from Rahul Gandhi or the Congress party, and it adds to the already heightened political rhetoric between the ruling Delhi administration and the opposition.
Sirsa, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party's cabinet, framed the allegation as a warning against actions he believes could destabilise public order.
No additional details or evidence were presented during the remarks, leaving the claim largely political in nature.
