By India Today News Desk: Union minister Kiren Rijiju, sharing a video of Rahul Gandhi’s Cambridge address, said the Congress leader has become extremely dangerous for India’s unity and is now provoking people to divide India.
In a tweet, Rijiju said the “self-declared Congress prince” crossed all the limits.
“This man has become extremely dangerous for India’s unity. Now he’s provoking people to divide India. India’s most popular and loved Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s only mantra is Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat,” the Union minister said.

Rahul Gandhi in his Cambridge University speech had accused PM Modi of destroying the democratic architecture of India.
“India is a union of states. It is a negotiation and if you try to force one idea on a union, it will react. I have got a Sikh gentleman sitting here. He is from the Sikh religion. We have got Muslims in India, Christians in India, different languages in India. They are all India. Mr Narendra Modi says he is not. Mr Narendra Modi says he is a second-class citizen in India. I don’t agree with him,” Rahul Gandhi had said in his Cambridge speech.

On this remark, Rijiju said it is not necessary to react but anti-India statements are being misused by the anti-India Forces to tarnish the image of India.
“People of India know Rahul Gandhi is Pappu but foreigners don’t know that he is actually Pappu,” Rijiju added.
“There should be a limit to re-launching the same product. Being relaunched in London, and marketing is actively followed by the same gang in India,” he stated.
Rahul Gandhi, who was on a UK tour, was earlier accused by the BJP of insulting India’s democracy from foreign land.
