"India is being defamed by saying there is hatred in the country," the veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader hit out at the former Congress President who has been saying that the motive behind the Yatra of the grand old party is targeting the "Politics of hate".
"I ask Rahul Gandhi who is holding Bharat Jodo Yatra in the country and saying there is hatred in the country - Who is giving birth to hatred in the country? What has happened to you Rahul ji?" Defence Minister asked at an event in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh.
"Congress leaders raise questions over the bravery of our soldiers. Is India a broken nation that the party trying to unite it? India faced partition in 1947... it won't break further. It is no longer the country that whoever can come and stake claim," the BJP leader continued.
"India's pride should not get hurt. Rahul ji, don't try to spoil the country's image. Politics should not be just for forming governments but to create societies."
