The BJP has lashed out at the Congress and the late former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, calling him "the father of lynching" after his son, MP Rahul Gandhi, attacked the party over recent mob killings. Ahemdabad (1969), Jalgaon (1970), Moradabad (1980), Nellie (1983), Bhiwandi (1984), Delhi (1984), Ahemdabad (1985), Bhagalpur (1989), Hyderabad (1990), Kanpur (1992), Mumbai (1993)…This is just a small list in which more than 100 people died under Nehru-Gandhi parivar's watch. https://t.co/LFAoAgIGVl
BJP IT wing head Amit Malviya accused the Congress of justifying the "blood-curdling genocide" of Sikhs after Indira Gandhi's assassination. He posted the 'jab bhi bada ped girta hain, dharti hilti hain', or 'when a big tree falls, the earth shakes', excerpt from a speech by Rajiv Gandhi that year.
"Meet Rajiv Gandhi... father of mob lynching, justifying blood-curdling genocide of Sikhs," he wrote.
Malviya also posted about riots that took place between 1969 and 1993, under Congress rule.
