Congress vice-president, Rahul Gandhi was shown black flags and his car was attacked in Banaskantha, Gujarat on Friday. Gandhi is on a visit to flood-hit Gujarat and will tour the northern districts of Gujarat that have been declared ‘disaster-affected’ by the state government.
After he was shown the black flag while addressing people, Gandhi said, “Aane do aane do, yeh kale jhande yahan lagane do, ghabraye hue yeh log, koi farak nahi padta humein.”
Congress spokesperson, Randeep Singh Surjewala said, “BJP goons attack Cong VP Rahulji’s car in Lal Chowk, Dhanera, Banaskanta, Gujarat. Disgusting & disgraceful. With 218 deaths in Gujarat, 61 in Bansakanta alone, PM only does an aerial visit while CM takes 5 days to visit. BJP only attacks opposition. Windowpanes of Cong VP’s car broken in an organized attack by goons, security staff injured. BJP must know truth can’t be silenced.”
Earlier in the day, Gandhi visited flood-hit areas in Jalore district of Rajasthan. Gandhi reached Sanchor in Jalore by helicopter and toured the flood-hit areas by road.
