On Tuesday, a protest in Ahmedabad turned violent as workers from BJP, Congress, Bajrang Dal, and Vishva Hindu Parishad clashed outside the Gujarat Congress headquarters. The incident was sparked by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's comments in Parliament, which were later expunged by the Speaker. Gandhi condemned the violence and expressed confidence that the people of Gujarat will "teach the BJP government a decisive lesson." Meanwhile, the BJP demanded an apology from Gandhi for his "anti-Hindu" remarks.
Bajrang Dal activists, accompanied by BJP and VHP supporters, vandalized the Gujarat Congress office following a fiery speech by Rahul Gandhi critiquing the BJP's claim to speak for all Hindus. The attackers defaced photos of Gandhi and allegedly assaulted the security guard and his family. In his speech, Gandhi accused the BJP of perpetuating violence and hatred in the name of Hindus, to which PM Modi responded by accusing Gandhi of insulting the entire Hindu community. The Gujarat Congress has condemned the attack as a "cowardly" act perpetuated by "so-called, fake Hindus".
