BJP alleges Rahul Gandhi ‘traitor of highest order’

NEW DELHI: The BJP on Thursday claimed a link between Rahul Gandhi and international forces, including an investigative media platform, trying to destabilise India and that the Congress leader was a “traitor of the highest order”.

BJP MPs K Laxman and Sambit Patra cited a report in the French media outlet ‘Mediapart’ to target Gandhi after the ruling party raised the issue in the Lok Sabha, which was adjourned amid noisy interventions by both sides.

Patra claimed that billionaire investor George Soros and some US-based agencies, investigative media platform Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), and Gandhi occupy three sides of a “dangerous” triangle trying to destabilise India and stoke public disaffection for a regime change.
