August 09, 2014
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi comments on communal violence have sparked a ward of words. "Communal riots in Uttar Pradesh are incited deliberately," Rahul said yesterday.
In comments made to a newspaper, the Congress leader said that the
communal clashes in the state, ruled by the Samajwadi Party, were part
of a deliberate strategy to "divide the poor and pit brother against
brother".
The Bharatiya Janata Party slammed Gandhi scion today saying, "Rahul
should introspect and decide the direction of his party."
BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said, "He should stop using his secularism formula. "People have rejected them (Congress) and he is still not able to understand," he added.
