Reservation: Amit Shah criticised Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi | Desk: Home Minister Amit Shah has issued a strong response to the remarks made by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi concerning the issue of reservations in the United States.
Amit Shah criticized Rahul Gandhi’s statement, calling it both “anti-reservation” and “anti-national.”
In a post on X, Amit Shah wrote, “Standing with forces that conspire to divide the country and making anti-national statements have become a habit for Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party. Whether it is supporting the JKNC’s anti-national and anti-reservation agenda in J&K or making anti-India statements on foreign platforms, Rahul Gandhi has always threatened the nation’s security and hurt sentiments.”
Amit Shah wrote, “Rahul Gandhi’s statement lays bare the Congress’s politics of causing rifts on the lines of regionalism, religion, and linguistic differences.”
He wrote,”By speaking about abolishing reservations in the country, Rahul Gandhi has once again brought the Congress’s anti-reservation face to the forefront. The thoughts that were in his mind eventually found their way out as words.”
Amit Shah wrote, “I want to tell Rahul Gandhi that as long as the BJP is there, neither can anyone abolish reservations nor can anyone mess with the nation’s security.”
It is noteworthy that Rahul Gandhi is on a tour of America these days.
Gandhi said at Washington’s Georgetown University, “There is a design element in the Congress party that has been in place since Mahatma Gandhi’s time, and it has certain qualities as a political organisation that are very powerful. I was watching the elections, and there was a point when we sat down with the treasurer, who said, ‘Look, your bank accounts are frozen. How are you supposed to fight an election if your accounts are frozen?’ We really didn’t have an answer then.”
“Yet, the Congress Party fought the election and essentially destroyed the idea of Modi. You can see this because, when you watch the prime minister in Parliament now…he’s psychologically trapped. He cannot come to terms with it; he is psychologically trapped,” rahul Gandhi added.
“India at heart, is a union of languages, traditions, histories, religion, everything… When you have lunch here, you get first course, second course. We don’t get that, we get a thali, and everything placed in it… It’s a jumble and every food has the same value. So this idea of mixing and merging is in India,” Rahul Gandhi said.
“When Indian people go to their religious places, they merge with their deity. This is the nature of India. The misunderstanding that the BJP and RSS have is they think that India is a whole bunch of separate things. So we don’t need to redefine anything, it’s already there,” Rahul Gandhi said.
