New Delhi: In a fiery political twist, AICC general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal fired off a sharp letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday. The reason? A bombshell threat made by Kerala BJP spokesperson Printu Mahadev against Rahul Gandhi during a TV debate on Saturday. Venugopal slammed Mahadev’s chilling words, where he boldly declared, "Rahul Gandhi will be shot in the chest." This is no slip of the tongue or careless exaggeration, said Venugopal. Instead, it was a "cold, calculated and chilling death threat" aimed at the leader of the Opposition and one of India's top political figures. The letter hits hard: "That such poisonous words are uttered by an official spokesperson of the ruling party not only places the life of Rahul Gandhi in immediate danger," Venugopal wrote, "but also undermines the Constitution, the rule of law, the basic security assurances owed to every citizen let alone the leader of Opposition." AICC’s demand is loud and clear—legal action must be taken against Printu Mahadev immediately to protect democracy and the safety of its leaders. The drama unfolded on national TV, showing how dangerous words can quickly jump from screen to street. Will the government act? The nation watches with bated breath.
