Pappu trends on Twitter; netizens slam Rahul Gandhi for supporting Hitler

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday gave a new reason to many people on the internet for launching a scathing attack on him for his remark on Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters before launching a nationwide protest against price rise, Gandhi said we are witnessing the ”death of democracy”.

He added that the ruling camp is winning many elections and compared it to Hitler’s rule. He said, ”Hitler too used to win elections. How did he use to do it? He had control of all of Germany’s institutions…”

”#RahulGandhi should realise that if he had spoken against Hitler like this,he would have been put in jail. In our democracy #Pappu sits in front of media & criticises the govt without fear! Pappu’s grandmother didn’t allow such freedom & was a dictator,pretending to be democratic,” read a tweet.
