His speech included instances of him holding up pictures of Lord Shiva, Guru Nanak, and Jesus Christ. Multiple times during the address, speaker Om Birla forbade Gandhi from showing religious pictures, even as&nbsp;he referred to Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Jainism to underline the importance of fearlessness.

At one point, he slammed PM Modi, who was present in the parliament, without directly naming him. He remarked, "Those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth…Aap Hindu ho hi nahi (You are not a Hindu)".

Modi then condemned him for calling the entire Hindu community violent.

"This issue is very serious. Calling the entire Hindu community violent is a serious issue."&nbsp;
