We have all been waiting for his response. Rahul Gandhi has finally responded to the “Congress is a Muslim party” remark. He said that religion, caste, and beliefs matter little to him.
“I stand with the last person in the line. The exploited, marginalised and the persecuted. Their religion, caste or beliefs matter little to me. I seek out those in pain and embrace them. I erase hatred and fear. I love all living beings. I am the Congress,” Gandhi tweeted.

The Congress chief has been facing flak from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for his statement, which Urdu daily Inquilab claimed, he made at a meeting with Muslim intellectuals and activists on July 11. Inquilaab quoted Gandhi as having told them the “Congress is a Muslim party”.
The BJP was quick to pick on the report with Prime Minster Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launching attacks on Gandhi. “I read in the newspapers that naamdaar (entitled) said the Congress is a party of the Muslims. I am not surprised… When the previous prime minister was in charge, he said openly that the first use of natural resources should be with Muslims,” Modi said in UP’s Azamgarh
