Nehru-Gandhi family surrendered Indian interests, Rahul insulting armed forces: BJP

NEW DELHI:  The BJP on Wednesday accused Rahul Gandhi of insulting the armed forces with his “surrender” barb at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that it amounted to undermining the success of Operation Sindoor and making an allegation favouring Pakistan that even the neighbouring country has not made.

Gandhi’s jibes reflect a “sick and dangerous” mindset, BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said and claimed the Congress leader had surpassed even Pakistan’s army chief, prime minister and the terrorist masterminds based there in speaking in support of their country.

Citing a string of historical developments on the Congress watch, from India’s division to China and Pakistan occupying parts of Indian territory to Gandhi himself lamenting the Western indifference to the alleged democratic slide in India under Modi, he said history is full of such surrenders from the Nehru-Gandhi family and lauded Prime Minister Modi as the “lion of mother India”.
