The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized Rajya Sabha member Kapil Sibal for his recent remarks, calling them derogatory towards India and its democratic values. Sibal expressed shame over living in a country where violent attacks occur, sparking a political uproar.
Sibal’s comments on the attack involving Trinamool Congress MPs Abhishek Banerjee and Kalyan Banerjee drew strong reactions. BJP’s Tarun Chugh condemned Sibal’s statements, labeling them as an insult to India, its Constitution, and its people. Chugh accused Sibal of reflecting a colonial mindset and undermining democratic principles.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh also rebuked Sibal, highlighting past atrocities under different political regimes. Singh suggested that Sibal’s party, the Congress, has its own history of violence and should reflect on its actions. The criticism towards Sibal intensified, with references made to historical events and the current peaceful state of the country.
