'Irresponsible and shameful': BJP asks Congress to explain Rahul Gandhi's comment seeking foreign intervention in India

| @indiablooms | Mar 08, 2023, at 01:34 am

New Delhi: The ruling Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) has asked the Congress to make its stand clear on Rahul Gandhi’s comments seeking Europe and US intervention to save democracy in India.

At an event in London, the Congress leader said that India's democracy "has come undone" and asked, "why Europe and the US, the defenders of democracies, were oblivious of it?”

Slamming Rahul Gandhi for seeking foreign intervention in India’s internal matters, BJP asserted that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and his predecessor Sonia Gandhi owed a clarification on the comments.

"BJP would like to emphatically state with great agony that Rahul Gandhi, in his speeches, has sought to shame India's democracy, polity, parliament, political system and judicial system," said BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad, accusing the Congress leader of launching a false campaign.

"Rahul Gandhi wants that Europe and US should interfere to save democracy? No matter whose government it is, we have been strongly against any interference in our internal affairs. No foreign country must intervene in India's internal affairs," Prasad said.

"Mr Kharge, BJP wants to know, if you feel you are an elected president of the Congress, do you support the irresponsible and shameful comments of Rahul Gandhi that America and Europe must intervene in India to restore democracy? If you don't then disown them. Sonia ji, BJP would like to urge you to make your stand clear on utterly irresponsible comments."
