The Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) is vehemently demanding the swift arrest of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson accused of issuing a death threat against prominent Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during a recent live television debate. This serious accusation has ignited a fierce political storm across the state.
KPCC President and MLA Sunny Joseph expressed profound shock and condemnation, highlighting the Home Department’s apparent inaction despite the gravity of the threat against a key opposition figure. He challenged the BJP’s national and state leadership to demonstrate integrity by expelling the individual responsible for such inflammatory remarks.
Joseph underscored Rahul Gandhi’s unwavering dedication to upholding India’s secular values and national unity, emphasizing his relentless advocacy for public issues both within and outside parliamentary proceedings. He further alleged that the BJP, seemingly unable to counter Gandhi’s political ideologies and his recent stance against nationwide voter list irregularities, is now resorting to extreme measures, including attempts at physical elimination.
Concluding with a powerful statement, Joseph affirmed that the Congress, a party deeply rooted in the sacrifices made for India’s freedom, secularism, and democratic principles, will not be intimidated by such threats. He declared that Rahul Gandhi, standing firm in the legacy of leaders who have given their lives for the nation, will never be silenced.
