BJP leader slams Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Manusmriti, files complaint
The BJP leader alleged that Rahul Gandhi picked out a single chapter and twisted the words to malign the ancient text.
BJP leader Nazia Khan filed a complaint against Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's remarks on the Manusmriti, accusing him of twisting the ancient text to malign it. Khan, a Supreme Court lawyer, criticized Gandhi for using images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, and RSS leader Mohan Bhagwat during his speech.
Khan questioned why Gandhi displayed their photographs, as he never mentioned reading or following the Manusmriti. She alleged that Gandhi picked a single chapter and twisted the words to create a false impression. Gandhi had criticized the "Manusmriti mindset" during a campaign, stating that women belong to themselves and not their fathers, husbands, or sons.
Rahul Gandhi's comments drew criticism from Yogi Adityanath, who urged Gandhi to study religious texts before commenting on the Manusmriti.
