Jun 03, 2025
Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 3 : BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari launched a fierce attack on Congress MP and Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday, accusing him of making "indecent" remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and questioning his values and patriotism.
Bhandari also alleged that the Congress leader's actions, including offering tributes to former PM Indira Gandhi without removing his shoes, reflect a disregard for Indian traditions and respect.
"Rahul Gandhi's words reflect his values. He makes such indecent remarks against the country's Prime Minister. But this is what can be expected from Rahul Gandhi, whose heart beats for Pakistan. Because when he offers floral tributes to the statue of his grandmother (Indira Gandhi), he does not even remove his shoes..." Bhandari said.
The BJP leader also highlighted India's firm stance on terrorism under the Modi government.
"Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has given a befitting reply to Pakistan's terror masters. Even Salman Khurshid to Shashi Tharoor, every Congress leader is talking about this, and Pakistan itself is giving evidence of this... The people of the country see this uncivilised Rahul Gandhi as an agent of Pakistan..." he said.
His remarks come in the wake of Rahul Gandhi's recent attack on the BJP-led government over alleged US mediation in Operation Sindoor.
Addressing Congress workers in Bhopal, Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Modi "surrendered" after receiving a call from US President Donald Trump. He contrasted Modi's reaction with former PM Indira Gandhi's stance during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
He also attacked the BJP-RSS, alleging that if slight pressure is exerted on them, "they run away out of fear."
"Now, I understand RSS-BJP well. If slight pressure is put on them, they run away out of fear. When Trump called Modiji-'Modiji kya kar rahe ho, Narender-Surrender and with 'ji hazooor', Narenderji followed Trump. In the 1971 war, Seventh Fleet (came from the US), India Gandhi said I will do whatever I have to do. This is the difference. This is their character; all of them are like this. Since the Independence movement, they have this habit of writing letters of surrender," Rahul Gandhi said.
Rahul Gandhi also attacked the BJP-led government in a post on X.
"Trump's phone came and Narendraji immediately surrendered. History is witness, this is the character of BJP-RSS, they always budge. India had bifurcated Pakistan in 1971 despite the threat by the United States," Rahul Gandhi said in his post.
"The 'babbar sher' and 'shernis' of Congress fight the Superpowers, they do not bow," he added.
US President Trump has repeatedly claimed credit for stopping hostilities between India and Pakistan after New Delhi's effective response to Islamabad's aggression following precision strikes on terror infrastructure.
India had conducted Operation Sindoor early on May 7 and hit terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the Pahalgam terror attack.
India effectively responded to subsequent Pakistan aggression and pounded its airbases.
India and Pakistan agreed to stop military action following call made by Pakistan DGMO to his Indian counterpart.
