The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, of encouraging violence against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This accusation follows an assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 14. BJP leaders, including Amit Malviya, have drawn parallels between Gandhi's past comments and the rhetoric of U.S. President Joe Biden, suggesting that such statements incite violence against popular leaders. The BJP has listed a series of alleged threatening comments made by Congress leaders to support their claims.
