Rahul Gandhi Accused of Ties with “Anti-India Lobby”
Raga News Zone | Politics Desk
A new political controversy has emerged in India as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi faces allegations from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of associating with what it terms an “anti-India lobby” abroad. The accusations follow Gandhi’s recent international engagements and meetings with foreign lawmakers.
BJP leaders claim that Gandhi’s interactions with figures like U.S. Congress members Ilhan Omar and Jan Schakowsky have allegedly fueled anti-India narratives, including letters sent to U.S. authorities regarding domestic legal cases. Party officials have also pointed to his association with global progressive groups as evidence of a broader network critical of India.
The BJP has said that such connections could undermine India’s international image and pose risks to national interests. Party leaders have emphasized that foreign influence should not interfere in domestic politics or legal matters.
In response, the Congress party denied the allegations, stating that international engagement is a part of democratic discourse and aimed at presenting India’s democratic values and diversity on global platforms. The party also called the BJP’s claims politically motivated, aimed at deflecting attention from domestic issues.
Political analysts note that the controversy highlights the polarized political climate in India, where international interactions of leaders are increasingly being scrutinized and politicized. Public opinion remains divided, with supporters of the BJP backing the claims, while Gandhi’s supporters defend his diplomatic outreach as legitimate.
