Rajasthan Congress in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Monday, triggered a row with his controversial comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the 2019 Pulwama terror attack, insinuating that the PM Modi-led BJP regime allegedly orchestrated the February 2019 suicide bombing to garner sympathy votes ahead of that year’s Lok Sabha elections.

Addressing a Congress dharna demanding a Parliamentary committee probe into the Hindenburg report, Randhawa asked how the Pulwama attack happened and did He (Modi) do this win the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, indirectly insinuating that the BJP dispensation allegedly masterminded the brutal suicide bombing in which more than 40 CRPF men were slain.

Randhawa also demanded an inquiry into the February 14 2019 Pulwama terror attack, while also asking if any BJP leader fought for India’s independence even though the saffron party tout patriotism… “they say that there is no bigger patriot than them. Modi doesn’t know meaning of deshbhakti.”

The senior Congress leader also pointed guns at PM Modi during his address urging party leaders to end infighting and instead focus on “finishing Modi.” He told the gathering that if they (Congress) can “finish” Modi, then Hindustan (India) might “survive” … “if Modi is here, then Hindustan will be finished.”

He said that to remove Adani and Ambani, Modi must be “finished” first and then the BJP defeated.

Randhawa call for unity among Congress ranks in Rajasthan comes amid the backdrop of the ever-widening rift between Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and his former deputy Sachin Pilot ahead of the elections due later this year.

BJP’s Shehzad Poonawala also responded to Randhawa’s contentious remarks saying that once againg the Congress has “crossed all limits” and like “Raja Pateria incites people to finish Modi and gives clean chit to Pakistan on Pulwama.”

The BJP leader asked if the Congress will sack Randhawa or reward him for his comments.

BJP MPs protest in Parliament

BJP MP’s belonging to Other Backward Castes (OBC) on Tuesday staged a protest in front of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue inside Parliament premises over the Modi surname remark by Rahul Gandhi and demanded an apology from the Congress scion over the contentious comment.

On Friday last, Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha, day after a Surat court convicted him in a 2019 defamation case and sentenced him to a two-year jail term.

The disqualification which will prevent 52-year-old Gandhi, a four-time MP, from contesting elections for eight years unless a higher court stays the conviction, has kicked up a political storm with the Congress staging a countrywide satyagraha on Sunday to protest the decision.

Meanwhile, the BJP isn’t relenting from its demand of an apology from the Gandhi scion for his Modi surname remark.

Earlier in the day, the saffron party targeted Rahul Gandhi against, saying that the former Wayanad MP “pretending not to be a coward” after previously apologising to the Supreme Court for the ‘Chowkidar Chor Hai’ jibe against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019.

Talking to newsmen at a presser, Union Minister Smriti Irani today said that Gandhi was convicted not for “abusing” an individual but the entire OBC community and “pretends not be a coward” when he already apologized to the Supreme Court in 2019 for his remarks against PM Modi.

Irani said that in his attempt to “insult” PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi also “insulted the entire OBC community and yet does not have the humility to “beg forgiveness” from them (OBC) which shows the “political arrogance” of the Gandhi family.

The BJP and the Congress have been involved in a political slugfest since a court in Gujarat’s Surat city convicted its Rahul Gandhi in a 2019 criminal defamation case and sentenced him to a two-year prison term, which led to his disqualification from Lok Sabha.
