  "account": "Union Ministers on August 13, 2026, expressed severe disapproval of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India's foreign policy. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh deemed Mr. Gandhi's comments, delivered at a Congress event, as \"extremely low-level and condemnable\". He emphasized that he had never witnessed any Leader of the Opposition, including Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, L.K. Advani, Manmohan Singh, or Sonia Gandhi, behave in such a manner. Mr. Singh cautioned that such conduct posed a significant threat to India's healthy democracy, warning that any resentment Rahul Gandhi might harbor towards the Prime Minister should not be expressed in such an indecent manner. Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also condemned the remarks, stating that they insulted the Prime Minister and India's international reputation, disregarding the norms of propriety. Health Minister J.P. Nadda described the situation as a \"misfortune\" for the country to have such a Leader of the Opposition and urged Rahul Gandhi to apologize for his disrespectful behavior.",
