At the same time, while talking to press reporters, Home and Health Minister in reply to media question Vij said that every word of Rahul Gandhi smells of hatred, when he started the journey and said in the first tweet that ‘just 145 more days’ and burning nickar was also put, which means that after 145 days you will set the whole country on fire. After this, instead of praising the Indian soldiers on the skirmish with China, he questioned their bravery which no one patriot can accept. Home Minister Anil Vij said that it is in the DNA of the Congress to break the country. When independence was achieved, they divided the country, in 1984 thousands of people were killed by instigating Sikh riots. They are pretending to travel to remove the stain of breaking the country on their face. Vij said that he could not enter Gujarat, seeing how many people come there to listen to PM Narendra Modi. As long as the Congress was in the North-East, it did not go there and not a single brick of development was laid there. Today, when PM Narendra Modi goes there, the entire North-East gathers.
