New Delhi: Hours after Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for his remarks that India got ‘true independence’ after the Ram temple consecration amounts to treason and is an insult to every Indian, the saffron party chief JP Nadda said that the Congress party has a history of encouraging anti-India forces.
Nadda said Rahul Gandhi has ‘exposed’ his party’s ‘ugly truth’ that that he is fighting the Indian state.
“Hidden no more, Congress’ ugly truth now stands exposed by their own leader. I ‘compliment’ Mr. Rahul Gandhi for saying clearly what the nation knows- that he is fighting the Indian state!,” Nadda shared on social media platform X.
Nadda also accused the Congress party of compromising on the nation’s integrity and betraying the people of India for their greed of power.
Congress has a history of encouraging all those forces who want a weak India. Their greed for power meant compromising the nation’s integrity and betraying the trust of the people.
But, the people of India are wise. They have decided that they will always reject Mr. Rahul Gandhi…

“Congress has a history of encouraging all those forces who want a weak India. Their greed for power meant compromising the nation’s integrity and betraying the trust of the people,” added Nadda on X.
What Rahul Gandhi said against RSS, BJP
Earlier in the day, while speaking at the newly-inaugurated party headquarters in the national capital, Gandhi launched a scathing attack at BJP and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
“Mohan Bhagwat has the audacity to say to the country what he thinks about the Independence movement and the Constitution. What he said yesterday is treason… Because he is stating that the Constitution is invalid and the fight against the British was invalid,” PTI quoted Rahul Gandhi.

Gandhi said “we are fighting a civilisational war with these people, they are attacking every day the ideas that we believe in” and asserted that only the Congress can fight them.
During his speech, Gandhi also hit out at the Election Commission of India (ECI) and said there was a “serious problem” with the country’s election system.
