Rahul Gandhi's Manusmriti Remark Triggers Political War; Yogi Adityanath Hits Back| Dr. Manish Kumar

A intense political row has erupted across the country following recent remarks made by Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi regarding the ancient text Manusmriti and its relation to violence against women. During a public event, Gandhi referenced the scripture while attacking societal structures, which immediately drew sharp reactions from top leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath strongly hit back at the Congress leader, accusing him of insulting Hindu scriptures and attempting to divide society for political gains. BJP leaders argued that such comments hurt religious sentiments and display a lack of understanding of ancient texts. The controversy has quickly escalated into a major flashpoint between the ruling party and the opposition, setting the stage for a prolonged political battle over cultural and religious narratives in upcoming electoral campaigns.
