“Rahul Gandhi, who is the leader of the main opposition in the Lok Sabha, did not speak during the debate on the Waqf Act (Amendment) Bill. Why has the Congress party, which claims to protect minorities, remained silent on an issue that affects millions of people in the country?” Kavitha questioned. She went on to criticize Priyanka Gandhi’s absence from Parliament during the debate, calling it “the worst.”
Kavitha’s Challenge to Rahul Gandhi
The BRS leader challenged Rahul Gandhi to explain why he did not speak on the bill, which she believes undermines the rights of Muslims. “Why didn’t Rahul Gandhi, who has been carrying around the Constitution in his hand, speak on the Waqf Act Amendment Bill, which takes away the rights of minorities?” Kavitha said. She accused the Congress leadership of being more interested in securing votes during elections than actually standing up for the rights of minorities.
