The Story in Brief
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah at the Ratchnatmak Congress National Convention in New Delhi. He claimed Modi does not sleep at night and that Shah, once called Chanakya, has disappeared. Gandhi also said he would defend the RSS’s right to freedom of expression if the government tried to silence it.
He accused the government of suppressing student protests at Jantar Mantar over the NEET paper leak and criticised its foreign policy. Gandhi alleged that after the Galwan clash, Modi said no land was lost, undermining India’s negotiating position with China. His remarks came as Parliament remains deadlocked over the protests.
The Indian Opinion
Rahul Gandhi's offer to defend the RSS if it is silenced is a rare bipartisan gesture, but it sits oddly alongside his claim that the RSS has no understanding of India. The BJP will paint his speech as desperate ranting, while the Congress will hail it as fearless truth-telling. Both caricatures miss the point: the opposition's job is to oppose, but consistency matters. Will Rahul actually stand up for an RSS rally in his constituency if the police stop it?
