Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman shares clipped video of Rahul Gandhi’s address on ‘X’
Netizens say FM misleading nation with clipped video
New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has come under fire for allegedly sharing a misleading, clipped video of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The controversy began with Sitharaman's tweet, which criticized Gandhi for calling Hindus “violent” in a selectively edited portion of his speech.
She stated, “Sheer audacity of LoP @RahulGandhi to call everyone who calls himself Hindu as ‘hinsak’/violent shows @INCIndia’s hatred and contempt towards Hindus. Also consistent with Hindu hate of his INDI Alliance partners. Hypocrisy in claiming ‘Mohabbat ki Dukaan’ exposed.”

BJP ≠ Entire Hindu Community.
