The ‘shameful’ bigotry of the BJP has not only isolated India but also damaged her global standing, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi said on Monday, while targeting the ruling party over controversial remarks made by its now sacked spokespersons against Prophet Mohammad.
While the party’s official Twitter handle questioned why these BJP functionaries have not been arrested yet, former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said “Nupur Sharma and Naveen Kumar were not the original creators of Islamophobia as they trying to be more loyal than the king”.
Taking to Twitter, Mr. Gandhi said, “Divided internally, India becomes weak externally. BJP’s shameful bigotry has not only isolated, but also damaged India’s global standing”.
