A heated controversy erupted when Pintu Mahadev, a BJP spokesperson, allegedly threatened that “Rahul Gandhi will be shot in the chest” during a televised debate. In response, Congress demanded urgent intervention from Home Minister Amit Shah, labeling the threat “cold, calculated and chilling” and warning that inaction would amount to normalizing violence against political opponents. Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah also expressed shock and questioned the silence of top leadership over the remark. #DeathThreat #PoliticalViolence #RahulGandhi #Congress #BJP #HomeMinistry #FreeSpeech #SafetyOfLeaders #Democracy #Accountability
