New Delhi [India], July 29 : Congress MP K Suresh hit out at BJP MP Anurag Thakur over his remarks in the Lok Sabha during a debate on Operation Sindoor, accusing him of consistently targeting Congress and Rahul Gandhi, who is the leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha
Speaking to ANI, Suresh said, "Anurag Thakur always blames the Congress and our leader, Rahul Gandhi. Whenever he speaks in the House, his agenda is only to target Rahul Gandhi."
On Monday, BJP MP Anurag Thakur launched a scathing attack on Congress MP Rahul Gandhi during a debate on Operation Sindoor in the Lok Sabha, claiming India fought a "two-and-a-half front war" with the "half front" being the "Rahul-Occupied Congress."
"India fought on two and a half fronts, everyone knows about the two fronts, but in this half front, there is also a Rahul Occupied Congress," Anurag Thakur said.
"Look at the social media, in the last two months, Rahul Occupied Congress has made disgusting and insulting cartoons against the Prime Minister and the Indian Army...Rahul Occupied Congress called the Army chief a roadside goon. Rahul Gandhi should apologise to the entire country and the Indian Army..." Thakur said, referring to a remark by Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit in 2017, who had attacked the then Army Chief with a "sadak ka gunda" jibe. Dikshit later withdrew his comment and issued an apology after facing criticism for the remark.
Anurag Thakur went on to target Congress MP Rahul Gandhi personally, calling him the "poster boy" of Pakistani propaganda.
"Let me tell you, the leader you talk about, twice the people of the country did not even give him enough votes to become the leader of the opposition... He has become LoB from LoP (Leader of Opposition). LoB stands for Leader Opposing Bharat. Opposing India and the Prime Minister is his agenda. I don't know whether he becomes the poster boy of Congress or not, but he has become the poster boy of Pakistan's propaganda", he said.
