New Delhi. Congress has attacked BJP MP Anurag Thakur over his remarks in the Lok Sabha. Congress said that the caste of the Gandhi family is martyrdom but the BJP-RSS will never understand this.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said his party was ready to listen to any casteist slur but was determined to conduct the caste census.Kharge posted on Instagram and said, 'Yes, I am an Indian and a Dalit, but I don't know how many we are. Yes, I am a tribal, but I don't know how many we are. Yes, I am a backward class, but I don't know how many we are. Today we all need to assess how much our contribution is in the progress of this country.'

He alleged that it is a conspiracy of the BJP-RSS to hide this from us so that they can keep us backward and snatch away our reservation under conspiratorial pretexts and capture our rights.Party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should clarify whether all this has happened at his behest? Priyanka Gandhi shared a video of Anurag Thakur's speech and posted on 'X', 'Socio-economic-caste census is the demand of 80 percent of the people of this country.

He asked whether 80 percent of the country's population will now be abused in the country's Parliament. Narendra Modi should clarify whether this has happened on his orders? Congress media cell chief Pawan Khera said that Rahul Gandhi's caste is 'martyrdom'.
