Siddaramaiah expresses shock over 'shoot Rahul Gandhi' remark by BJP leader
Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah condemned a BJP leader's alleged death threat against Rahul Gandhi, questioning PM Modi and Amit Shah's silence. He linked this to a pattern of violence against ideological opponents by the Sangh Parivar, citing historical killings. The threat, made by former ABVP leader Printu Mahadevan during a TV debate, led to his arrest and subsequent bail.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Wednesday expressed shock over an alleged comment made by a BJP leader that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be shot in the chest.
The chief minister sought to know whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah endorsed the view.
"The shocking fact that a spokesperson of @BJP4India has openly issued a death threat saying, "We will shoot Rahul Gandhi in the chest, beware..!!", aimed at the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Shri Rahul Gandhi, who has been consistently raising his voice against the BJP and the Sangh Parivar, has left the nation stunned," Siddaramaiah said in a post on 'X'.
Siddaramaiah said, "The silence of Prime Minister @narendramodi and Home Minister @AmitShah on such a statement has naturally led everyone to wonder whether they, too, endorse this view."
Threatening ideological opponents to silence their voices, and when that fails, resorting to eliminating them altogether is nothing new to the BJP and the Sangh Parivar, the chief minister alleged.
He added that those who earlier stood behind the scenes supporting the killings of their critics are now stepping into the arena openly.
The fact that they cannot counter their opponents through dialogue and debate and have chosen instead to resort to physical violence exposes their intellectual bankruptcy, he said.
"Are the victims of the Sangh Parivar's extremists just one or two? The list of killings, beginning with Mahatma Gandhi, has continued to grow with Govind Pansare, Narendra Dabholkar, M. M. Kalaburagi, Gauri Lankesh, and many more," Siddaramaiah alleged.
Even though the leaders of the Sangh Parivar conveniently wash their hands off by claiming no connection with these killers, they have never been able to wash away the stains of blood on their hands, he said.
"In the past too, not only I but also many writers, thinkers, and activists in the country have received death threats in the form of letters. The police are investigating these incidents," Siddaramaiah claimed.
He further said that he has never been one to cower before such threats or betray the ideals he believed in.
"I am confident that one day all these evil forces will have to bow before justice," the CM said.
He further said that this was not the first time that Rahul Gandhi's family has faced death threats.
"It was at the hands of such killers that Rahul Gandhi lost both his grandmother and his father. Let the murderous minds in the BJP know that Rahul Gandhi is no longer alone, he has the unwavering support of millions of workers and citizens," Siddaramaiah asserted.
Printu Mahadevan, reportedly a former ABVP leader, allegedly made the remarks during a television debate on protests in Bangladesh and Nepal.
He reportedly said such protests were not possible in India as people here supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi, adding that if Rahul Gandhi had similar aspirations, "bullets will pierce his chest".
