BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Wednesday criticised Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for his remarks on External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, wherein the former attacked the minister, saying he was destroying India’s foreign policy.
“Foreign Minister Jaishankar discussed the terrorist attack in Pahalgam from the SCO platform. Rahul Gandhi, himself, secretly meets the Chinese ambassador. He signs secret MoUs with China, takes money from China, and you are giving us lectures on foreign policy.
If this is not shamelessness, then what is it? Rahul Gandhi’s entire policy is focused on tarnishing the country’s image, demoralising the army, and undermining India’s foreign policy.
The country has realized that Rahul Gandhi’s love for China is an old affair. Under the leadership of PM Modi, the foreign policy of the country is being lauded on the global stage. Today, the nation speaks with confidence in front of the world… At least Rahul Gandhi should respect facts,” Chugh said, responding to the Congress MP’s charge against Jaishankar.
On Tuesday, Rahul Gandhi, following Jaishankar’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, slammed the External Affairs Minister for “apprising” the foreign leader on India-China ties, saying that he “is running a full-blown circus” aimed at “destroying” the country’s foreign policy.
“Called on President Xi Jinping this morning in Beijing along with my fellow SCO Foreign Ministers. Conveyed the greetings of President Droupadi Murmu & Prime Minister @narendramodi. Apprised President Xi of the recent development of our bilateral ties. Value the guidance of our leaders in that regard,” Jaishankar had posted on X.
Jaishankar was on an official visit to China to attend the SCO Foreign Ministers Meeting.
