Congress Leader’s Venezuela Comment Triggers Political Controversy

Raga News Zone | National Desk

A political controversy has erupted after a senior Congress leader made a sharp remark linking recent developments in Venezuela with India’s leadership. Referring to the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by US forces, the Congress leader questioned whether similar actions could ever be taken against India’s Prime Minister, sparking strong reactions across party lines.

The statement, made during a discussion on global politics and US foreign policy, was quickly picked up by political opponents, who termed it irresponsible and misleading. Leaders from the BJP slammed the remark, saying it undermines India’s sovereignty and global standing, and accused the Congress of indulging in fear-mongering for political mileage.

Supporters of the Congress leader, however, defended the comment as a rhetorical warning about international power politics rather than a literal comparison. They argued that the remark was aimed at highlighting concerns over global interventions and diplomatic pressures.

The issue soon trended on social media, with netizens divided over the intent and tone of the statement. While some criticised it as exaggerated, others saw it as part of a broader debate on international relations and national security.

As the political sparring continues, the controversy has once again highlighted how global events are increasingly being used in domestic political narratives. Raga News Zone will keep tracking further reactions and developments related to this issue.
