BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla has launched a sharp critique against Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, following a skit performed in Parliament that reportedly depicted a theft at the Ram Temple. Poonawalla labeled the act an 'attack on Hindu society,' arguing that the performance was disrespectful to the religious sentiments of millions of Hindus.

According to reports, the controversy centers on a theatrical presentation or skit that occurred within the parliamentary complex, which Poonawalla claims trivialized the significance of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. The BJP leader demanded an apology from Gandhi, suggesting that the skit was part of a broader pattern of insensitivity toward Hindu traditions. While the Hindustan Times report highlights Poonawalla’s strong condemnation, it does not provide the specific context of the skit’s origin or a direct response from Rahul Gandhi or the Congress party regarding the incident. The report focuses primarily on the political fallout and the accusations leveled by the BJP spokesperson, framing the event as a significant point of contention between the ruling party and the opposition.
