Agartala, 21st February 2026 : Tripura Pradesh Congress spokesperson Prabir Chakraborty today launched a sharp attack on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), accusing them of long-standing conspiracies aimed at weakening the Congress and targeting the Gandhi-Nehru family.
Speaking in a press conference at Congress Bhavan here, Chakraborty alleged that since the pre-independence era, organizations such as the RSS and Hindu Mahasabha were more focused on establishing a “Hindu Rashtra” than participating in the anti-British freedom struggle. He claimed that this agenda continued after independence, with repeated attempts to undermine the Congress.
He pointed to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948, as part of this conspiracy, alleging that Nathuram Godse, linked to the RSS, carried out the killing. Chakraborty further argued that subsequent assassinations of former prime ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were also part of a broader plot against the Gandhi-Nehru family.
In the present context, he said, Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi remain under sustained political attack. He accused the BJP of orchestrating false cases against Rahul Gandhi, stripping him of his parliamentary membership, and attempting to permanently bar him from the Lok Sabha through demands raised by BJP MPs.
Chakraborty also highlighted recent threats, claiming that a man identifying himself as a spokesperson of the Karni Sena publicly threatened to kill Rahul Gandhi and warned of shooting multiple Congress MPs if an apology was not issued within 24 hours. He insisted this was not an isolated incident but part of a larger pattern of intimidation.
The Congress spokesperson warned that a deliberate environment of communal division and terror was being fostered in the country, posing a grave threat to national unity, democracy, secularism, and sovereignty. He called upon all democratic and secular forces to unite in resistance against such divisive politics.
