If You Want to Become PM, Stay in Mock Parliament: Amit Shah on Rahul Gandhi

  • On Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized the INDIA bloc for holding a rally at Ramlila Maidan, Delhi, on the anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, describing it as a 'jalsa' that ignores victims' sentiments.
  • Shah invoked the 1984 violence, where thousands of Sikhs were killed, and criticized Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi for remarking, "When a big tree falls, the earth shakes," alleging the Congress party incited these riots.
  • The BJP-led government reopened riot cases and provided Rs 5 lakh compensation to each victim, Shah said, noting the ruling party requested the opposition not to hold the rally on November 1, 2 and 3, but the INDIA bloc remained adamant.
  • Slamming Rahul Gandhi, Shah said the rally will only "rub salt in the wounds of the victims," claiming that hatred was the only takeaway from Gandhi's "mohabbat ki dukaan" for holding the event on such a dark day.
  • Shah asserted that India has never witnessed, nor will it witness again, riots of this kind incited by a political party, maintaining that the 1984 violence remains a dark chapter the country must never forget.
