“There is a need to cool down this temperature”
Meanwhile, at an event in London, former Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi criticized the Modi government for the country’s current state, saying, “India is not in a good state at the moment.” The BJP has spread kerosene throughout the country. All they need is a spark to ignite trouble. I believe it is the opposition’s, and even Congress’, job to bring people, groups, states, and religions together. We must cool this temperature, as if it’s not cooled, everything will go wrong.
Meanwhile, former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister and Congress politician Digvijaya Singh also shared a video of the incident, adding the political aspect to the killing. Singh said that the perpetrator in the video of the attack on Jain was a member of the Bhartiya Janata Party. “I have received information that a crime under Section 302 has been registered against Dinesh Kushwaha of the BJP. Let’s see if he gets caught or not,” Singh commented on Twitter while posting a video of the attack.
