Congress leader and Lok Sabha's leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi's remark on Hindus triggered a firestorm in the lower house. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah countered Gandhi.
"The Leader of Opposition has categorically said that those who call themselves Hindu talk of violence and do violence. He doesn’t know that crores of people proudly call themselves Hindu. Connecting violence with any religion is wrong. He should apologise," he said.
