The BJP and Congress have once again gone head to head as BJP reacted aggressively to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s tweet that lynching has become widespread after the Narendra Modi administration came to power back in 2014. The ruling party indicted former Prime Minister and late Rajiv Gandhi, the father of Rahul Gandhi as the “father of lynching”. Rahul tweeted on Tuesday morning, in Hindi and English language which stated that Before 2014, the word ‘lynching’ was nearly unheard of. Rahul’s post didn’t mention but was possibly about the two lynchings which took place in Congress-ruled Punjab in the last two days heeding indictments of sacrilege. The lynchings took place at the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple and a village gurdwara in the Kapurthala district. The ruling party took exception to the former Congress president’s post which blamed lynching on the Modi administration’s actions rather than keeping his party’s Punjab government under chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi accountable for the two occurrences of lynching.

In two separate tweets, BJP leader co-in-charge of West Bengal Amit Malviya provoked a bitter subjective attack on Rahul and the Congress. His initial tweet was intended for Rajiv Gandhi. He stated to define Rajiv Gandhi as the father of mob lynching, rationalizing the blood-curdling genocide of Sikhs. Leaders from Congress raised slogans on the roads such as ‘Khoon ka badla Khoon se Lunga, raped women, wrapped burning tires around necks of Sikh men while dogs gorged on charred bodies dumped in drains’ The tweet also comprised of a video in which Rajiv is given attention to announcing that “the earth shakes if a big tree falls”. His statement was in the wake of his mother and the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assassination which took place on October 31, 1984, which prompted nationwide violence and killings of Sikhs, especially in Delhi.
The leader Malviya’s additional tweet spoke of the several unrests and massacres which happened in states which were ordered by Congress.
