New Delhi, Sept 11: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Wednesday condemned the statements made by Rahul Gandhi during his recent visit to the US and alleged that the Congress leader’s efforts to spread false narratives are “deeply concerning” and represent a “grave insult” to the country’s global standing and national pride.
“Rahul Gandhi’s visit has once again highlighted his routine engagement with anti-India propagandists and forces working against the nation’s interests. His actions, along with his efforts to spread false narratives, are deeply concerning and represent a grave insult to India’s global standing and national pride,” Chugh said.
He added, “It is deeply regrettable that the entire Congress party continues to support his statements without any condemnation. Are there no voices within Congress with the sense and dignity to challenge such anti-national comments? Are there no leaders in Congress who take pride in our country? Their silence reflects the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the party’s leadership.”
Adding to his statement, Chugh said, “Rahul Gandhi’s divisive remarks and anti-national stance have once again exposed the true face of Congress. His ongoing statements on anti-reservation and anti-India agendas pose a serious threat to the unity and security of our nation. His damaging statements abroad, which undermine India’s reputation, cannot be tolerated. The BJP remains fully committed to safeguarding national security and ensuring the protection of reservations for marginalised communities. As long as the BJP stands strong, no one will abolish reservations or compromise the integrity of our nation.”
The BJP leader claimed that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party aligned with forces that seek to weaken India and that the Congress leader has consistently undermined the nation’s unity.
Chugh also addressed Gandhi’s false claim that the NDA government seeks to abolish reservations, calling it a blatant lie. He further criticised Rahul for his baseless claim that the Sikh community in India is not allowed to practice their religion freely. “Such statements are factually incorrect and deeply insulting to the Sikh community, which has played a pivotal role in preserving and protecting India’s cultural heritage. It is unbecoming of a leader of the opposition to make such reckless and false claims,” he said
He also addressed Gandhi’s misleading comments on the India-China border issue during his US visit.
Chugh condemned Rahul Gandhi’s “persistent anti-national statements and false narratives”, calling them a disgrace to India’s democratic values.
This comes amid a row created by Rahul Gandhi’s remarks in the United States. Gandhi, who arrived in Dallas in September 8, also interacted with students and teachers at the University of Texas and addressed the members of the Indian diaspora in Dallas.
