Rahul steps into a political minefield

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has stepped into a political minefield by accusing the RSS of considering some religions, languages and communities as being inferior to others and said that the fight in India is about this and not about politics.

The Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha was addressing a gathering of several hundred Indian Americans in Virginia.

In this context. Rahul made a pointed reference to the Sikhs which elicited a sharp response from the BJP for making baseless, falsified and unfounded statements and floating "dangerous narrative".
