Slamming the Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition’s statements in Colombia, Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Vishvas Sarang came out lashing at Rahul Gandhi. Sarang highlighted that Rahul Gandhi’s remark once again showed his childishness.
As per ANI, Madhya Pradesh Minister Sarang also accused the Congress leader of tarnishing the nation's honour on foreign soil, stressing that it amounts to treason.
Vishwas Sarang, while speaking to the media, asserted that "Rahul Gandhi has once again shown his childishness. Travelling abroad and tarnishing the nation's honour in this manner amounts to treason. Rahul is forgetting that when he goes abroad and gives interviews as the leader of the opposition, he should remember that it is because of this democracy and system that he has become the leader of the opposition. Yet, he is not mature and behaves childishly all the time," as cited by ANI.
Sarang further emphasised that the Congress leader bakes his political bread in India, and with the same ill intent, he tarnishes the honour and dignity of the nation on foreign soil as well.
"I believe Rahul Gandhi should give up this childishness. The way he has commented on the BJP and the RSS, he seems to forget that the BJP government has always enhanced the pride and prestige of the country... RSS is such a non-political organisation that has always lifted the honour of the nation. Rahul Gandhi does not know the truth; you only speak scripted stuff. You cannot imagine the contribution of RSS for the nation before and post-independence," the minister added, as per ANI.
Vihswas Sarang further asserted that "Rahul Gandhi should show some maturity, and the baseless remarks he makes about India while abroad come in the category of treason."
Earlier, while speaking at an event at EIA University of Colombia, Rahul Gandhi took a swipe at the Narendra Modi government.
Rahul Gandhi asserted that the biggest challenge India is witnessing is the attack on its democracy.
Gandhi said, "India has strong capabilities in areas like engineering and healthcare, so I am very optimistic about the country. But at the same time, there are also flaws in the structure that India has to correct. The biggest challenge is the attack on democracy taking place in India."
The Congress leader argued that the democratic system remains crucial for diversity, allowing different traditions, customs, and ideas, including religious beliefs, to thrive. However, he added, the democratic system in India is under attack, which is a "major risk" or threat.
The Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition, Rahul Gandhi, also attacked the RSS-BJP duo, saying that "cowardice" was at the heart of their ideology.
He asserted, "This is the nature of BJP-RSS. If you notice a statement of the foreign minister, he said, 'China is much more powerful than us. How can I pick a fight with them?' At the heart of the ideology is cowardice," as cited by ANI.
