Amid the BJP’s repeated ‘Muslim League imprint’ barb over the Congress manifesto, Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said history is witness as to who joined hands with the forces that wanted to divide the country and asserted that history does not change by “spewing lies” from political platforms.
Gandhi said that the 2024 Lok Sabha polls are a fight between two ideologies, with the Congress, which has always united India, on one side and those who have always tried to divide people on the other side.
“This election is a fight between two ideologies! On one side there is the Congress, which has always united India, and on the other side there are those who have always tried to divide people,” the former Congress chief said in a post in Hindi.
History is witness as to who joined hands with the forces that wanted to divide the country and strengthened them and who fought for the unity and independence of the country, Gandhi said.
“Who stood with the British during the ‘Quit India Movement’? When India’s jails were filled with Congress leaders, then who was running the government in the states with the forces that divided the country?” he said.
