Rahul Gandhi ‘most irresponsible politician’, India under Modi will win over corona, China and Congress: BJP
Terming Rahul Gandhi as the “most irresponsible politician” India has seen, the BJP on Thursday asked the Congress leader to “deescalate” his politics of “misinformation and propaganda” in targeting the government over the death of Indian soldiers in a clash with Chinese troops in Ladakh.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters that India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi will win over “three Cs of the coronavirus, China and the Congress”, as it is no longer the India of 1962 when the opposition party was in power.
Gandhi was acting in an immature and irresponsible manner by attacking Modi with his tweets when the government has already called an all-party meeting on Friday over the border row, he said.
Gandhi on Thursday questioned why Indian soldiers were sent “unarmed to martyrdom” in Ladakh and who is responsible for sending them towards danger. He had earlier attacked Modi, asking why he was “hiding”.
Hitting back, Patra said Gandhi wants to show that India left its unarmed soldiers to die and then cited a 1996 agreement between China and India, when Deve Gowda was prime minister, that prohibited armies of both countries from using any weapon within two km of their border.
“You are the most irresponsible politician India has yet seen. Read, understand and then speak. Just don’t rant against your country. Don’t make such unfounded and misleading claims against your own country to launch your politics,” he said.
The prime minister is not merely a person or is of a party but he represents the entire country, Patra said, attacking Gandhi for his “immature and irresponsible” tweets.
