Shah links inflation protests to Ayodhya in Priyanka's "insults Ram" tweet.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah connected the party's claimed resistance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's laying of the foundation for the Ram temple to Congress lawmakers' protests in black clothing over the issues of price hikes and unemployment.
Senior Congressman Jairam Ramesh retaliated at Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday for giving the party's rallies against price hikes, unemployment, and GST a "malicious twist" by trying "desperately" to connect them with the "Ram Janambhoomi" foundation day. On the day Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation of the Ram temple in Ayodhya two years back for his government, Shah had asserted that Congress officials donning black clothing during the Friday protests was a "subtle message to further push their appeasement policies."
"The Home Minister has made a valiant effort to sabotage today's democratic demonstrations by Congress against price increases, unemployment, and GST. Only a diseased mind could come up with such illogical reasons. Clearly, the protests are having an impact." In a tweet, Jairam Ramesh stated.
Congresswoman Priyanka Gandhi Vadra jumped over the police barricades and sat on the road to protest against the issue of inflation and unemployment on Friday, causing dramatic protest scenes to play out in the nation's capital. Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were among the party officials who dressed in all-black as a show of dissent.
"Why they protested today is beyond me. They used to dress normally every day when they protested, but today they wore black clothing. Because PM Modi established the foundation for Ram Janambhoomi on this day, Congress decided to protest on that day and dress in all-black in an effort to subtly advance their appeasement policies "According to Amit Shah, the source.
"This appeasement strategy is not advantageous to the nation or Congress. Congress is currently in the situation it is in because of appeasement policy "Added he.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, general secretary of the Congress, stated that reducing the burden of inflation on the nation's poor and middle class is the path shown by Lord Ram.
"Attacks on Lord Ram come from those who hurt the weak by raising prices. One who misrepresents those fighting inflation, disparages Loknayak Ram and the Indian people, "She made the statement in an anonymous Hindi tweet.
Rahul Gandhi stated during a news conference earlier in the day that the government felt threatened by the problems of rising prices, unemployment, unmet promises, and the strength of the populace. The leader of the Congress claimed without mentioning any specific individuals that the government's only goal is to safeguard the interests of four to five people.
