Rahul Gandhi's Jalsa Will Rub Salt In Wounds': Amit Shah Accuses Congress Of Insensitivity Over November 1 Rally, Invokes 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots

Union Home Minister Amit Shah harshly criticized the Congress and the INDIA bloc on Sunday for holding a mega rally on November 1, the anniversary of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan. Addressing a gathering in Chandigarh, Shah accused the Opposition alliance of being insensitive to the victims of the anti-Sikh violence by organizing the "Vote Bachao, Desh Bachao" rally on such a "dark day in the country's history."

He stated that the event will only "rub salt in the wounds" of the victims. Shah further questioned the INDIA bloc's decision, saying that Rahul Gandhi's ambition to become Prime Minister will not come to fruition if he continues to make such insensitive choices. He also warned that if Shah's goal is to become Prime Minister, he should stay in the "mock Parliament" and not seek actual political power.
