JAMMU: Taking a jibe at the frequent international visits of Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Thursday accused the Congress leader of maligning India’s image on foreign soil.
In a media interaction, Chugh said, “What he (Rahul Gandhi) is lecturing about in the US-how the nation is plundered, how caste-based divisions are created, how divisive politics is promoted, how the Congress orchestrated the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, how Bhopal gas tragedy victims were abandoned, and how scams like Bofors and the Commonwealth Games were executed-amounts to tarnishing the country’s reputation.”
He alleged that Gandhi’s trips were less about lectures and more about escaping Delhi’s scorching summer, suggesting that his so-called academic visits were mere political tourism.
Commenting on the National Herald case, Chugh reminded that both Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are currently out on bail. “As the law takes its course, the Congress plays the victim card and cries political vendetta. The Gandhis and Vadras are not above the law. The country will be governed by the Constitution, and everyone must abide by it,” he said and accused the Congress of institutionalizing corruption, asserting that the corrupt will be held accountable.
Regarding former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP Convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Chugh said the courts have acknowledged prima facie evidence of money laundering involving party leadership. He said that AAP leaders are using the party as a shield to cover up their misdeeds.
“The AAP and Congress are playing dangerous political games over Punjab’s security,” Chugh warned, adding that their actions have undermined law and order in the state and jeopardized public interest.
