Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge who is in Jammu to campaign for Congress candidates in the ongoing assembly elections today said, his party would launch an agitation against threats to Rahul Gandhi. Akashvani Jammu Correspondent reports that Mr. Kharge asserted that the Congress would not be cowed down by the RSS-BJP’s “poisonous mindset”.

Kharge questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s failure to take action against leaders of his party who used derogatory remarks against the Lok Sabha’s leader of the opposition. “BJP, RSS leaders, including MLAs and MPs, talk about chopping off the tongues of our leaders. 

Rahul Gandhi is under attack for speaking the truth and an atmosphere of hate is created against him like it was done against his grandmother Indira Gandhi,” Kharge said at a press conference in Jammu. He also said such provocative speeches by the BJP and the RSS are ignored by the Prime Minister, who has failed to rein in these leaders and take action against them because he is frightened of them.
