BJP’s Sudhanshu Trivedi Hits Back at Opposition Over Questions on Rajnath Singh’s Remarks
BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi sharply rebuts Opposition criticism of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s remarks on Jawaharlal Nehru and the Babri Masjid, accusing Congress of misreading history and lacking familiarity with its own legacy. The exchange intensifies political tensions in New Delhi.
Addressing the media, Trivedi argued that the criticism reflected a deeper disconnect within the Congress leadership. He claimed that those challenging Singh’s remarks seemed unfamiliar with key details of their own party’s history and legacy. According to him, the Opposition’s response demonstrated not just a lack of political understanding but also an apparent reluctance to engage with documented historical facts.
Trivedi alleged that Congress leaders have “stopped reading and learning,” asserting that their limited grasp of the Nehru–Gandhi family’s political lineage had resulted in unfounded accusations. He maintained that Rajnath Singh’s statement was rooted in historical context rather than political provocation, and accused the Opposition of attempting to distort the narrative for electoral advantage.
The war of words has added friction to an already charged political atmosphere, with both sides seeking to frame the debate in their favour. As the dispute escalates, it underscores the persistent tensions surrounding historical interpretations in Indian politics and their continued resonance in contemporary public discourse.
