Death threat to Rahul Gandhi shows BJP's historic link to Gandhiji's assassination: BK Hariprasad
Bengaluru: Senior Congress leader and Member of Legislative Council (MLC) BK Hariprasad has hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party, whose member recently said on television that Rahul 'Gandhi should be shot in the chest', stating that the party was made up of people who shot dead Icon of Peace Mahatma Gandhi.
Sharing his views on his personal 'X' account on the BJP spokesperson's statement recently, Hariprasad said, “Rahul Gandhi has been facing threats from BJP leaders already as he is fighting for justice to crores of people. But, if the party's spokesperson threatens on a private news channel that the party members would kill Rahul Gandhi if he spoke against BJP, clearly is a sign of a conspiracy against Rahul Gandhi.”
The leader, commenting further on what he called the BJP leaders' incitement to murder the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, especially since he is firm in his stand on protection of the Constitution and democracy, said, “The statement of the spokesperson cannot be taken as a slip of the tongue. Instead, the intention of the party has now been revealed.”
Hariprasad called upon all leaders in India to condemn this dangerous statement. “Saying we will kill the LoP is nothing but the heights of hate politics of the BJP. The party should immediately expel the member who made this murderous statement and also apologize to the citizens of India,” the Congressman has demanded.
