Former India — Indian National Congress MP Shakeel Ahmad publicly criticized Rahul Gandhi, calling him a 'darpok' (coward) and an insecure, dictatorial leader who sidelines senior party members. Following these remarks, Shakeel Ahmad claimed to have received secret information from within the India — Indian National Congress that the party's national leadership had ordered attacks on his residences in India — Patna and India — Madhubani on January 27, 2026, under the pretext of burning his effigies. Shakeel Ahmad shared screenshots of WhatsApp conversations allegedly discussing these plans. India — Indian National Congress leaders, including Manickam Tagore, strongly condemned Shakeel Ahmad's statements, labeling him a 'betrayer.' The India — Bharatiya Janata Party, through spokespersons like Shehzad Poonawalla, capitalized on Shakeel Ahmad's comments to attack Rahul Gandhi and the India — Indian National Congress, accusing Rahul Gandhi of having an 'Emergency mindset.' Shakeel Ahmad, who quit the India — Indian National Congress after the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, maintained his right to free expression and alleged that the directives to target him could not have been issued without Rahul Gandhi's knowledge.
