Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi spoke on the importance of Abhay Mudra, linking it to the Congress party's symbol. “Abhayamudra is the symbol of Congress...The Abhayamudra is the gesture of fearlessness, is the gesture of reassurance and safety, which dispels fear and accords divine protection and bliss in Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Buddhism and other Indian religions,” said Gandhi. Aiming to corner the BJP in the lower house, Rahul Gandhi said, “Our great men have spoken about non-violence and finishing fear...But, those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth…Aap Hindu ho hi nahi (You are not Hindu)."Should Rahul Gandhi Apologise? Raising sharp objection to Rahul Gandhi's claim that Hindus are ‘violent,' Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other NDA MPs protested and said that he must apologise for his statement on Hinduism. However, Rahul reverted to the objection saying “BJP, Modi are not entire Hindu society. ”If you look at Lord Shiva's image you would know that Hindus can never spread fear, hatred but BJP spreads fear, hatred 24X7," he further said.
