Ahmedabad: The Rajiv Gandhi Bhavan in Ahmedabad was reportedly vandalised by Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) members on Monday night. According to Congress party spokesperson Hemang Raval, individuals associated with the BJP, Bajrang Dal, and VHP threw stones at the Congress office to protest against Rahul Gandhi's recent comments about Hindus in Parliament. A police complaint has been lodged regarding the incident.

Rahul Gandhi's maiden speech as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha criticized the central government on various issues, including the treatment of minorities, the NEET controversy, and the Agnipath scheme. His comments, which included allegations against PM Narendra Modi, the BJP, and the RSS, drew strong objections from the Treasury benches.

During the debate on the motion of thanks on President Draupadi Murmu's address, Gandhi accused the BJP and RSS of promoting violence and hatred. This led to a vehement rebuttal from BJP leaders, including PM Modi, who condemned Gandhi's remarks as a serious allegation against the entire Hindu community. Home Minister Amit Shah demanded an apology from Gandhi.

BJP leaders accused the Congress MP of "speaking lies, misleading the House, and terming the entire Hindu community violent." Portions of Gandhi's remarks targeting the BJP's treatment of minorities, industrialists Adani and Ambani, and aspects of the Agniveer Scheme were expunged from the official records of the Lok Sabha proceedings.

Following Gandhi's speech, both BJP and Congress held press conferences to criticize each other's positions.
