In his speech Rahul said targeting BJP Turn around and see, there’s a Jain mandir, a gurdwara, a masjid. This is Hindustan. But this is not a new thing. This has been the country’s truth for centuries. People live with each other in harmony.

People of this country love each other, embrace each other. This country is one, he said.Where in the Hindu religion is it written that the weak and the marginalised should be crushed and killed? I have read the Gita, Upanishad. Nowhere have I read this. These scriptures talk about embracing each other. They are sowing fear in the minds of youth, women, small traders, farmers, he said.Making a speech in Rajasthan I had said we will open stores of love in your market of hatred. Aapne laakhon dukan khol di hai (you have opened lakhs of stores), he said Rahul said the Prime Minister and the BJP used thousands of crores to sully my image. But I did not utter a word. The entire media, WhatsApp. Facebook machinery were used to spread rumours against me. But I showed you the truth in a month. This is how truth works. One cannot suppress the truth. It has a tendency of coming out.When I started walking from Kanyakumari, I thought 2 that hatred had spread to every corner of the country. But that is far from the truth. This is something the television media wants us to believe but that is not the reality, he said.In reality, people live together in harmony, people embrace each other. They are not at each other’s throats as the TV shows us, he said.What do you think about Rahul Gandhi opinion? Do you agree?
