‘Against Indian sentiment’: Kumaraswamy targets Sonia Gandhi’s Italian origin again
Union minister H D Kumaraswamy has once again targeted Sonia Gandhi's Italian origin, accusing her of being against Indian sentiment. This is the second day in a row that Kumaraswamy has made such remarks. On Monday, while speaking to reporters in Holenarsipura, Karnataka's Hassan district, he claimed that Sonia Gandhi is not from India and her blood is mostly Italian.
He added that she is essentially from Italy, which is why she opposes Indian sentiment. On Tuesday, Kumaraswamy reiterated his stance, maintaining that Sonia Gandhi is not an Indian and her birthplace is Italy. He further accused her of opposing the singing of the full version of Vande Mataram during the Congress's Independence Day event.
Congress MLA A S Ponnanna criticized Kumaraswamy's comments, stating that such personal and disparaging remarks towards a woman are unbecoming of a Union Minister with a long public career.
