'If Hindus Were Violent...': Nupur Sharma Hits Back At Rahul For Insulting Remarks Against Hindus

New Delhi: Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma launched a scathing attack on Congress MP Rahul Gandhi over his 'violent-Hindu' remark made in Lok Sabha. She stated, "If Hindus were violent, there would not have been a situation where a Hindu Sanatani daughter, in her own country, lost her independence and freedom."

Speaking at an event in Ghaziabad, Nupur said, "Maharaj ji, it’s not like I do too much. This Dharam is not mine alone. It belongs to everyone. That I am the lone guardian of this Dharam is also not the intention. It is not what God believes I am worthy of either. But for Sanatanis, for Hindus, there is no other country in the world. That is the truth."

"When people in high positions say that Hindus are violent, when people in high positions say Hindus, Sanatanis, should be wiped out... I will say two things: what I have seen in the last two years is an attempt to finish Sanatanis because maybe something was written on WhatsApp or Facebook,” Nupur said, urging the audience to understand the conspiracy against Sanatanis.

Nupur’s speech was received with loud applause from the audience. “Here, you come to hear the Bhagwad Katha. I won’t say anything more in this environment. But I will say that get together, become one. Maharaj ji is absolutely correct. May no other member of any other family, let alone the daughter of any family, have to see and witness what I had to,” Sharma said.

“Till I am breathing, I am the daughter or son or whatever you want to see me as of your home. I will be standing for you for whatever you see me as. I will keep raising my voice,” she said amid applause from the gathered audience.

What Did Rahul Gandhi Say?

Earlier, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, had stoked a controversy with his “violent Hindu” remark, which was immediately opposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Later, some objectionable parts of Rahul Gandhi’s speech were expunged from the recorded proceedings. "Calling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious matter," PM Modi had said.
