BJP MP Sambit Patra Criticizes Rahul Gandhi for Remarks in the US
New Delhi, India, September 12: BJP MP Sambit Patra has criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of trying to divide the country based on caste and religion during his visit to the United States. Patra claimed that Gandhi’s actions and statements in the US have hurt many Indians.
Patra said, “Rahul Gandhi’s arrogance of being the Leader of Opposition is not just visible in the Parliament, his stupidity was also seen in America… I am using this word because crores of Indians are hurt by the way he has portrayed India in the US… Rahul Gandhi has committed treason in the US… He tried to divide castes and religions on foreign soil… He made a harsh statement on Sikhs in a foreign country… This is treason and when there is treason, using a word like ‘stupidity’ is appropriate.”
Patra also mocked Gandhi for his hesitation when asked about the meaning of ‘A’ in the opposition alliance ‘INDIA’. He suggested that Gandhi was confused whether ‘A’ stands for appeasement, crime (apraadh), or arrogance.
“Someone asked him (Rahul Gandhi) if it is INDIA alliance, then what does the ‘A’ stand for? After thinking for some time, Rahul Gandhi remembered that it stands for ‘Alliance’. Rahul Gandhi thought for a while before answering because he was confused if the ‘A’ stands for appeasement, apraadh (crime), or arrogance,” Patra told reporters.
Patra further criticized the Congress party over the protests regarding an alleged illegal mosque construction in Sanjauli, Himachal Pradesh. He accused the Congress of appeasement politics and highlighted that the mosque had been served notices multiple times but failed to provide legal documents.
“Hindu outfits and common people of Shimla are on the streets and are raising their voice against an illegal mosque. It is very clear that the concerned mosque is illegal. Congress’ Rural Development Minister Anirudh Singh asked on the floor of the House where the people of the ‘Jamaat’ come from. He also spoke on ‘Love Jihad’… Congress opened a front against him,” Patra said.
Patra concluded by stating that the BJP is against the lathi-charge (police baton charge) on Hindus and the actions taken against women, emphasizing that illegal mosques should not be supported.
