Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi has landed in hot water after making a fiery remark about the treatment of minorities in BJP-ruled states. Gogoi, visibly angry, accused the ruling party of suppressing religious freedom, particularly citing instances where people were allegedly not allowed to offer Namaz peacefully.
Taking a direct swipe at the BJP, Gogoi demanded, “First, they should clarify how many minority MPs they have.” He didn’t stop there—questioning the credibility of Union Minister Kiren Rijiju, he declared, “Their real intentions lie elsewhere. Rijiju MUST authenticate his claims.”
BJP Reacts: ‘Divisive Politics at Its Peak’
It didn’t take long for the BJP to fire back. Party spokespersons lashed out, accusing Gogoi of playing the communal card to polarize voters. “Congress is known for minority appeasement. This is just another desperate attempt to stir controversy,” a BJP leader stated.
While Gogoi’s statement has found support among some sections, critics argue that such rhetoric only fuels communal tensions ahead of elections. With political temperatures rising, will this debate turn into a full-fledged political storm? Stay tuned.
