NEW DELHI: Former Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday appealed to all Indians to maintain brotherhood and that nothing will be achieved by violence.
Writing in a Facebook post in Hindi, the former Congress president said, “I will appeal to all Indians, maintain brotherhood - nothing will be achieved by violence, only our country will be harmed."
Rahul also shared a video reel on Facebook titled 'peace – the only way'. The clip includes his speeches in which he had warned about violence and hatred being spread in the country.
The Congress leader said, "Spreading hatred and violence in the country, making a brother fight with his brother, what kind of patriotism is it?"
He further said, "I have been saying from the beginning, the country cannot move forward with anger and hatred. India needs peace to progress."
On Tuesday, he had posted a tweet blaming the BJP and the media for spreading hatred. He said, “The BJP, the media and the forces standing with them have spread the kerosene of hatred across the country. Only love can douse this fire in the country.”
His remarks come a day after clashes broke out in Nuh in Haryana over an attempt to stop a Vishva Hindu Parishad yatra. The violence has spread to Gurugram.
Haryana chief minister M L Khattar has said six people, including two home guards and a cleric, have died in the clashes.
On Monday, a Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable Chetan Singh (33) allegedly gunned down his senior colleague Tika Ram Meena and three passengers aboard a moving train near Palghar railway station on the outskirts of Mumbaiwith his automatic weapon. He was apprehended later.
