 "Rahul Gandhi")
Kailash Chaudhary, BJP MLA from Barmer’s Baytoo constituency in Rajasthan, has said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi should be “hanged” and “shot” for joining what he described as “anti-national” students at Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
Chaudhary demanded an apology from Gandhi, as well as his resignation.
According to a report in The Indian Express, the MLA was addressing a farmers’ gathering in his constituency on Wednesday, when he said, “Some people…raised slogans praising Afzal Guru, about breaking India and of 'Pakistan Zindabad'…and if Rahul Gandhi, who is called the Congress’ rajkumar, sides with these people…stands with them and supports them…it is treason. Rahul Gandhi is a traitor…such a traitor should be punished…should be hanged …and shot.”
“Yes, I said it. If he goes and supports such anti-national people…he should be shot. I am a nationalist and if anyone raises a finger at Bharat Mata, I will not tolerate it,” Chuadhary told The Indian Express.
