BJP Leader Criticizes Congress Chief for Age-Related Statements
Jaipur, November 11: BJP state president Madan Rathore has targeted Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, suggesting that his recent statements reflect the impact of aging. Rathore responded to Kharge’s comments regarding Hindu festivals and the mention of Sanjay Gandhi in Sonia Gandhi‘s book about the Emergency. He stated that it is inappropriate to put Sanjay Gandhi on trial after his death, emphasizing that the Emergency was a collective decision of the Gandhi family.
Rathore remarked, “Kharge’s reaction to Hindu festivals indicates his age. Sometimes he speaks without thinking, and at other times, he stumbles over his words. He has made remarks about the Prime Minister‘s father and compared Diwali to Eid.”
He added that every community has its own significance and context for festivals. If Kharge had spoken within that context, it would have been more appropriate. However, making statements just to appease a particular community is not right.
Rathore also pointed out that Kharge seems to forget the suffering his family endured, including the burning of his mother, brother, and sister. Despite this, he continues to make such statements, indicating that age is affecting his judgment.
On the mention of Sanjay Gandhi in Sonia Gandhi’s book regarding the Emergency, Rathore stated that while Sanjay was alive, all decisions were made according to his family’s governance. Criticizing him after his death is unjust. He stressed that it is not right to criticize the very individuals whose legacy they rely on.
Rathore further criticized the portrayal of the Emergency as a decision solely made by Sanjay Gandhi, stating that it was a collective decision of the Indira Gandhi family and is considered a dark chapter in democracy. He accused Indira Gandhi of murdering democracy, restricting press freedom, and forcibly sterilizing youth. Congress must accept this truth.
He questioned how the then Prime Minister could escape responsibility if everything was attributed to one individual. Rathore stated that if Congress claims Sanjay Gandhi indirectly ran the government, it raises serious questions about Indira Gandhi’s leadership. He challenged Sonia Gandhi’s assertion that someone else was pulling the strings while Indira Gandhi was in power.
Sonia Gandhi’s book, “Belonging,” was released on November 10 without any launch event.
