New Delhi: Union minister Kiren Rijiju, on Saturday, accused Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi of treading a “very dangerous track” and working towards destabilising India at the behest of George Soros.
“Rahul Gandhi is going on a very dangerous track. George Soros says that one trillion dollars are kept to destabilise the Indian government. The anti-India Khalistan force sitting in Canada, the US, the UK, and many Left organisations are conspiring to work against the country. Rahul Gandhi and Congress are working in coordination with them and weakening the country. This is very worrisome. But no one can destabilise the country under PM Modi’s leadership,” Rijiju said in an interview with ANI.
According to him, the Congress has always worked with anti-India groups after losing elections.
“… When Congress cannot win elections, then they and the forces against India together start attacking the government and the institutions so that the public loses faith in this country’s institutions… They have repeatedly said that the judiciary and the Election Commission are sold, to weaken them…,” he minister of Parliamentary affairs said.
“When they conspire to weaken the nation and the credibility of the government, then that results in agitation… They are working with the Leftist mentality…,” he added.
Rijiju went on to say how even Congress MPs are ‘uncomfortable’ when Gandhi speaks in Parliament. They are apprehensive that he will do “anap-shanap baatein” and the party will have to bear the consequences. Gandhi doesn’t even listen to his own party members, the minister claimed.
“Rahul Gandhi kuch bolte hain, unke saare MPs bahot uncomfortable ho jaate hain. Wo darte hain ye anapshanap baatein karenge, uska khamiyaza party ko bhugatna padta hai…(When Rahul Gandhi speaks, his MPs get uncomfortable what nonsense he will speak, the party will have to bear its consequences,” he said.
The BJP leader also spoke on how the Supreme Court had reacted to Gandhi’s “Chowkidar chor” allegations and the more recent episode when he was rapped for his remarks on the India-China border during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
