Rahul Gandhi slams the one who wants to destroy history

on Tuesday, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi said that India’s heritage is now in the hands of people who want to destroy the histroy and impose falsehood

At a ceremony to confer the Indira Gandhi Award for National Integration, Rahul said the “idea of India that Indira Gandhi fought for has been thrown fundamentally into question by the rising intolerance that we are witnessing today.”

“A view of Indianness that is one-sided, discriminatory, even warped, is being thrust upon us. The country’s heritage is now in the hands of those who are bent upon rewriting history, imposing falsehood and unscientific ideas on our people and stifling independent thinking.”

Rahul and former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh handed over the award to Carnatic maestro TM Krishna.

“Krishna’s engagement with the artistic scene has converged with his parallel reflections on the state of our society,” Rahul said.
