‘Every line of decency crossed’: Huge uproar over Rahul Gandhi's hug dig at govt's foreign policy
Himanta Biswa Sarma said Rahul's remarks were not merely politically indecent but also an attempt to sabotage India's foreign relations.
Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's recent remarks critical of the government's foreign diplomatic approach have sparked significant controversy, with senior BJP leaders condemning the comments as "indecent." Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma went so far as to accuse Gandhi and the Congress party of crossing "every line of decency" in his remarks made during a Congress event featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Sarma argued that the remarks were not only politically indecent but also had the potential to damage India's foreign relations. He made the allegations in a post on X, referencing Gandhi's comment at the Rachnatmak Congress National Convention. Sarma specifically criticized Gandhi for making derogatory remarks about a female head of state who was present at the event and who was receiving positive reactions from women in the audience.
The BJP spokesperson, CR Kesavan, described Gandhi's actions as a "shameful stunt" and accused him of making "vulgar insinuations" against Modi's foreign policy. He also suggested that if Gandhi wished to discuss foreign policy, he should first examine the shortcomings of Jawaharlal Nehru's tenure as India's foreign minister, which Kesavan described as being "riddled with fiascos and failures."
