Rahul Gandhi's «silence» over Kerala's serial blasts, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said, «Who are these people who want to create chaos here from outside.»
«I condemn the bomb blast incident in Kerala...,» Thakur told reporters in Himachal Pradesh's Bilaspur on late Sunday evening.
«The silence of Rahul Gandhi who is an MP (Wayanad) from the state, clearly shows that Congress is silently supporting them...After all, who are these people who want to create chaos here from outside?.. Congress and the Communist Party are silently supporting them (people behind the blasts) and are not taking action against them...,» he added.
On Sunday evening, Rahul Gandhi in a post on X condemned the incident and termed it «deeply disturbing».
He also expressed condolences to the bereaved family and said, «I hope for a quick recovery for those injured».
«There is no place for hatred and violence in a civilised society.
The govt must conduct a thorough probe and bring the guilty to justice,» Rahul added.
A series of blasts at a prayer meeting in Kerala's Kalamassery on Sunday morning killed at least two people and left several injured, with six remaining in critical condition.
The blasts in Kerala led to heightened security in crowded places in the national capital.
The hospitals in Kochi were crowded with distressed and appalled family members as several injured people were undergoing treatment.
Laxman Prabhu, a family member of two victims, said, «My mother is admitted to the hospital, she came yesterday (to the convention centre) for the prayer. She already has some other issues and now she has burn injuries on her legs, hands, mouth and back.
