Rahul Gandhi speaking Pak’s language: Anurag

BJP MP and former Union Minister Anurag Thakur lashed out at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for questioning the Modi government and the Indian Army over ‘Operation Sindoor’ at a time when the Indian delegation of Parliament members was on a trip to many countries representing India’s stand on Pakistan’s role in sponsoring terrorism. He criticised Rahul’s remarks that the Modi government was pressurised by the Trump administration for a ceasefire between India and Pakistan.

Thakur also accused Gandhi of helping Pakistan’s propaganda by claiming that the government succumbed to US influence. He said that Rahul Gandhi’s approach was negative and against the interests of the nation because by passing such remarks, Rahul was strengthening Pakistan’s voice at the international level. He said, “Rahul Gandhi is speaking Pakistan’s language.”

Anurag Thakur was part of the parliamentary delegation that went to many countries to expose Pakistan’s support for terrorism at the global level and to spread New Delhi’s message of zero tolerance against terrorism.

He reached Kangra airport on Saturday after returning from this foreign trip. Here, he was warmly welcomed by the local BJP workers.

Talking to mediapersons at the airport, he said that all the political parties stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Modi government over ‘Operation Sindoor’, but Rahul Gandhi’s remarks were not in good taste.

“The Congress needs to introspect over the behaviour and remarks of Rahul Gandhi at a time when the country stands united against terrorism,” he said while adding that Rahul’s politics has become negative.

Thakur said that it was unfortunate that Rahul Gandhi and some Congress leaders were criticising India and the Indian Army. Rahul’s statements give strength to Pakistan, which it uses in its favour on international forums. This is unfortunate for the country.

Taking a personal jibe at Rahul, he said, “Rahul’s pain is that he is out of power, but the sad part is that he doesn’t stand with the country.”

At the same time, Anurag Thakur gave a strong message to Pakistan on the issue of terrorism. He said that it was necessary to give a befitting reply to the terrorist attacks sponsored by Pakistan.
