Rahul Gandhi Condemns Mohan Bhagwat's 'True Independence' Remark as Treason

The Congress leader criticized the RSS chief's statement that India's true independence came with the Ram Mandir's consecration, calling it an insult to freedom fighters and the Constitution.

Rahul Gandhi strongly criticized RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for claiming India's true independence occurred with the Ram Mandir's consecration in Ayodhya last year.
Gandhi labeled Bhagwat's comment as 'treason,' asserting it undermines the 1947 independence movement and disrespects the Constitution.
He stated that such remarks insult freedom fighters and every Indian, arguing that Bhagwat would face legal consequences in other countries for similar statements.
Gandhi positioned the Congress as the primary force opposing the BJP-RSS ideology, which he accused of centralizing power and eroding democratic institutions.
The remarks were made during the inauguration of the Congress's new headquarters, where Gandhi emphasized the party's role in defending constitutional values and minority rights.
