“Conspiracy Unraveled”: Nupur Sharma Takes a Veiled Dig at Rahul Gandhi Over “Violent Hindus” Remark

In a recent event in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad, former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma made a veiled jibe at Congress MP and Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, calling his “violent Hindus” remark a “conspiracy”. The comment comes after Gandhi’s speech in the Lok Sabha, where he launched a sharp attack on the ruling BJP, accusing it of spreading fear, hatred, and falsehoods.

Sharma, who was suspended from the party in 2022 for her controversial remarks on Prophet Muhammad, which sparked a nationwide controversy and international outrage, including a beheading, made the comment while addressing an event. The authenticity of the video has not been verified by News18, but it has surfaced on social media.

In the video, Sharma is heard saying, “When people in high positions claim that Hindus are violent, or when others say that ‘Sanatanis’ should be wiped out, one should understand this conspiracy.” She also mentioned the attempts to wipe out Sanatanis and the need to protect the country’s Constitution, not Sharia law.

Sharma’s comments come after Gandhi’s speech, where he said that Hinduism is not about spreading fear, hatred, and falsehoods but about non-violence and resilience. Prime Minister Narendra Modi also responded to Gandhi’s speech, saying that people will not forgive him for centuries and that a conspiracy was hatched to falsely accuse Hindus.

The controversy surrounding Sharma’s remarks in 2022 led to her suspension from the party and a Supreme Court rap, where she was called “single-handedly responsible” for the violence and chaos that ensued. The court observed that her “loose tongue” had set the entire country on fire and that she was responsible for the unfortunate incident in Udaipur, where a tailor was beheaded.

Sharma had previously responded to Gandhi’s remarks on social media, saying that it was not violent Hindus but those who talk about the genocide of Hindus who were the problem. She also quoted a Hindu scripture, saying that righteousness protects those who protect it.

The row has sparked a heated debate, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on the matter. News18’s Pallavi Ghosh has been following the story and joins the conversation with Sakshi Litoriya.
