Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath criticised former vice president Hamid Ansari and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over their recent remarks on India’s culture and politics.
Adityanath accused them of making statements that, in his view, undermine India’s cultural identity. The comments came amid a wider political exchange over Ansari’s recent remarks on civic and cultural nationalism.
Ansari had recently cited Jawaharlal Nehru’s view on the threat of Hindu right-wing communalism while speaking at an event in New Delhi. His remarks drew criticism from the BJP and other groups.
Adityanath also questioned Rahul Gandhi’s approach to issues concerning women and Indian culture, according to reports. These are political claims and criticisms made by the respective speakers.
