The Congress on Saturday accused the BJP and the RSS of being behind what it described as a "murderous attack" on Rahul Gandhi in Gujarat and claimed it was a "pre- planned" conspiracy.
The Congress vice president said the attack on his convoy was carried out by the BJP and RSS workers and this was Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the BJP's way of politics.
Gandhi on Friday faced protests in flood-hit Gujarat where a cement brick was hurled at his car allegedly by BJP supporters, breaking the window planes of his car.
"The attack on Rahul Gandhi was done by the BJP, RSS people under a pre-planned conspiracy. It is a murderous attack by the BJP and the RSS on the Congress vice president," Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said.
Gandhi was also shown black flags, that forced him to cut short his address at a gathering in Dhanera town of Banaskantha district and had to leave in a huff.
Azad accused the BJP government led by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani in Gujarat of failing to provide security to Gandhi, who is a SPG protectee.
"In yesterday's incident, the BJP workers hit a big stone at me that hit my PSO. This is Modi ji, BJP's and RSS's way of politics. What else can we say," Gandhi said outside Parliament.
When asked that the prime minister and the BJP have not condemned the incident so far, Gandhi said, "When they themselves do such a thing, how will they condemn it. It is done by their people so why would they condemn it."
He later tweeted, "Respect the sentiments of Congress workers in Gujarat protesting against the administration not filing an FIR against the stone pelting, but I urge them to divert their energy in helping the people affected by floods in the state."
Azad was accompanied by Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Deputy Leader in Rajya Sabha Anand Sharma and AICC media incharge Randeep Surjewala.
He said such things cannot stop the Congress party or its vice president from meeting people and hearing their grievances.
"We strongly condemn the attack on Gandhi as it has also brought forward the real face of the BJP, which is known for doing this since independence," Azad said.
He said the concrete boulder weighing 1.5 kg was aimed at Gandhi who was seated on the front seat with his window pane lowered and had it hit him on the head it could have proved fatal.
