After the first speech of Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha as the leader of the Opposition sparked a row with his ‘Hindu’ remark, the Ahmedabad office of Gujarat Pradesh Congress at Paldi was vandalised. Amit Chavda, former president of Gujarat Congress and leader of Gujarat Assembly Congress Party, tweeted about the incident, claiming that Home Minister Amit Shah, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and RSS were behind the attack.

Addressing the House, Rahul Gandhi on July 1, said, “All our great men have spoken about non-violence and finishing fear…But, those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth… Aap Hindu ho hi nahi (You are not even Hindu)…”

This had prompted PM Modi to stand up and tell the speaker that calling Hindus violent is a very serious matter. HM Shah also demanded an apology from Rahul Gandhi.

Today,  20-25 Bajrang Dal workers reportedly arrived at Congress office in Ahmedabad at 4 am in the morning, vandalised the Congress office, and smeared black ink on Rahul Gandhi’s poster at the office.

Congress leader Chavda, in his post, wrote, “Frightened by a speech by the leader of the people @RahulGandhi in the parliament, the hired thugs of @narendramodi and @AmitShah have committed the cowardly act of throwing stones at the office of @INCGujarat in the darkness of midnight.”

“We want to tell the BJP and RSS leaders who carried out the attack that if you have the courage, come forward and fight. We will defeat you in Gujarat with the weapon of truth and non-violence,” he concluded.

Gujarat State Congress Committee spokesperson Hemang Raval told the media that the cowardly attack on the Congress office by Bajrang Dal goons has come to light, and he will reach the Congress office and challenge these so-called fake Hindus that they are doing such cowardly attacks in the dark of night.

No official information has been given by the Congress yet about the damage caused by the incident.
