Rahul indulging in dangerous activities: BJP
NEW DELHI: The BJP on Wednesday slammed Rahul Gandhi over his meeting with US lawmaker Ilhan Omar and others during his visit to that country, alleging the Congress leader is indulging in “dangerous and mischievous” activities by reaching out to people abroad who are known for their anti-India stand.
Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters here, party national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said that Gandhi earlier used to indulge in “childish activities” but “now he is indulging in dangerous and mischievous activities”.
Referring to Gandhi’s remarks on the Sikh community, BJP party national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi Trivedi alleged that he has drawn support from Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.
With this, Gandhi has further added a new friend in his list of anti-India friends, the BJP leader charged.
“There is a saying: King James I was the wisest fool in Christendom. In my opinion, the same thing applies to Rahul Gandhi for ‘Congressdom’,” he added.
At the press conference, Trivedi also showed a picture of Gandhi with journalist Mushfiqul Fazal as he hit out at the Congress leader accusing him of meeting people who are known for their anti-India stand.
“He is that journalist who had asked a question regarding Arvind Kejriwal’s arrest in a White House press conference and he is taking a selfie with Rahul,” the BJP leader said.
Trivedi slammed Gandhi for “spewing venom” against India during his US visit and termed his meeting with the US lawmaker Omar and others as “very serious” .
“Omar is one of the US lawmakers whom the Pakistan government had taken on a visit to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). She has made several statements that directly or indirectly show her sympathy for the Muslim Brotherhood and ISI (Pakistan’s intelligence agency),” he added.
