‘Disparage India’s traditions and heritage’: CM Yogi tears into Rahul Gandhi’s Manusmriti remarks
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath strongly criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his recent remarks on Manusmriti, accusing the opposition leader of disparaging India's traditions and heritage. At an event in Raebareli, Adityanath stated that the country does not have high expectations from Gandhi, who is merely the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament.
He posed a series of rhetorical questions to Gandhi, questioning the protection women provide as mothers, sisters, wives, or daughters, implying that Gandhi's views trivialize the importance of women in society. Adityanath also attacked Gandhi for insulting the country, its army, and Hindu Gods, and suggested that Gandhi should read ancient texts like the Atharvaveda, Shatapatha Brahmana, and Matsya Purana to gain a better understanding of India's heritage.
The BJP had previously condemned Gandhi's remarks as a "political comedy show," with the party's Maharashtra vice-president accusing the Congress leader of making political statements instead of addressing student issues.
