Union Minister Anurag Thakur questioned Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader and Wayanad MP, about his “silence” on the series of explosions in Kerala, asking, “Who are these people who want to create chaos here from outside?”
In the late hours of Sunday night, Thakur told reporters in Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, “I condemn the bomb blast incident in Kerala.”
Rahul Gandhi, a state MP from Wayanad, has been mute, which amply demonstrates the Congress’ tacit support for them.Who, after all, are these outsiders hoping to instigate mayhem here? The Communist Party and Congress, he said, “are not taking action against the people behind the blasts, but rather are silently supporting them.”
Rahul Gandhi denounced the event and called it “deeply disturbing” in a post on X on Sunday night.
Along with his sympathies, he remarked, “I hope for a quick recovery for those injured” to the mourning family.
In a civilized society, violence and hate have no place. Rahul said, “The government has to carry out a comprehensive investigation and prosecute those responsible.
