"Giving anti-national statements has become habit of Congress": BJP's Tarun Chugh

New Delhi [India], September 19 (ANI): Hitting out at Congress leader Sam Pitroda's recent reported remarks, BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh on Friday stated that giving "anti-national" statements, "defaming" the Indian constitution, institutions, and democracy have become a habit of the Congress party.
Speaking to ANI, Chugh said, "...Giving anti-national statements, defaming the Indian constitution, institutions and democracy have become a habit of the Congress party. During Operation Sindoor, Rahul Gandhi was dancing to the tunes of Pakistani media and working on instructions of his political guru Sam Pitroda's guidance to belittle our Army."
Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a sharp attack on the Congress party following Sam Pitroda's reported remarks and demanded an apology from the Gandhi family.
Addressing a press conference, BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari accused the Congress leadership of remaining silent on the controversial statement and alleged links with Pakistan-based figures.
Bhandari said, "We want to ask Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi, why did you remain silent when Shahid Afridi called you his idol? Lashkar-e-Taiba wanted to have talks with Congress, why did you remain silent? Sam Pitroda calls Pakistan his home, why are you silent? Your silence is your acceptance... They want to spread anarchy in Indian democracy. Yesterday, Rahul Gandhi said that protecting the Indian democracy is not his job, but he definitely said that he wants to fight against the Indian state... Gandhi-Vadra family should apologise to the nation for Sam Pitroda's statement..."
Sam Pitroda reportedly said in a media statement that he had been to Pakistan and "felt at home".
Meanwhile, Congress leader Pawan Khera, while addressing the issue of Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda's recent reported media statement on Pakistan, said that he is not aware of his remarks.
Khera also targeted the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, mentioning that they talk about "Akhand Bharat" (United India) but have a problem, and someone else says the same thing. "I have not heard what he had to say...RSS always talks about 'Akhand Bharat', but when someone else says it, they have a problem," Khera told ANI. (ANI)
