Hitting out against the Congress Vice-President in his blog post, Shah demanded an apology from Sonia and Rahul for their ‘support’ to anti-Indian forces in the name of progressive ideology of the Left.
"An attempt was made to defame a leading university in the national capital by turning it into a centre which encourages terrorism and separatism. I want to ask Rahul Gandhi if it would be in national interest had the central government kept quiet?

"Are you not encouraging traitors by protesting in support of these anti-nationals?", Shah wondered.
Claiming that the Modi government had triumphed in "controlling anti-national sentiments" even in Kashmir, Shah complained that instead of being a responsible opposition, Congress was fuelling the "shameful incident" at JNU.
I seek answers from Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi to my questions on behalf of 125 crore countrymen and also demand that Rahul Gandhi apologise to the country for his action," Shah wrote.
