Union Textiles Minister Giriraj Singh on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claiming that he wants to create a situation of civil war in the country over the Waqf board issue.

"When Hindus in Bangladesh faced religious atrocities, Congress leaders including Salman Khurshid and others said that scenes like Bangladesh would be recreated in India. Rahul Gandhi wants to create civil war in the country in the name of the Waqf Board, for which he is bringing in new toolkits. The wrongdoings of Congress and this dream of Rahul Gandhi will not be realised," Singh said, adding that it was in Congress` DNA to tell lies.
