During a rally in Sangrur, Rahul Gandhi condemned the AAP and Congress, also commenting on the Mushtaq murder case.
Prime Ministerial hopeful Rahul Gandhi arrived in Sangrur, Punjab, on Thursday for a public rally organized by the Congress party. Addressing a crowd of supporters, he launched a sharp critique of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and his own Congress colleagues, accusing them of diverting attention from pressing issues.
Gandhi highlighted recent controversies surrounding the murder of Mushtaq, a case that has sparked nationwide outrage. He urged both parties to focus on delivering justice rather than engaging in political point‑scoring.
The rally, held near the district court complex, was attended by local party workers and senior leaders. While the event proceeded without incident, security forces kept a close watch following reports of heightened tensions in the region.
Analysts note that Gandhi's visit aims to revive Congress's foothold in Punjab ahead of upcoming state elections, where the party seeks to regain lost ground against the AAP government.
The speech concluded with a call for unity among the opposition and a pledge to address the concerns of Punjab's farmers and youth.
