"Rahul Gandhi infamous for his tour with anti-national propaganda": BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi

New Delhi [India], January 3 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Sudhanshu Trivedi on Saturday mounted a sharp attack on Congress leader and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi, asserting that the Leader of Opposition is "infamous for his tour with anti-national propaganda".

Addressing the press conference in the national capital, Trivedi said, “LoP Rahul Gandhi, infamous for his tour with anti-national propaganda, has reportedly set off on a tour to Vietnam. But he will definitely be seen either meeting an anti-India personality or making an anti-India statement."

The BJP MP further questioned why Rahul Gandhi continues to receive invitations abroad despite, as he claimed, lacking similar engagement within his own party’s ruled states in India.

“I want to ask the Congress, who are these people abroad who keep calling Rahul Gandhi, who is not even called by any CM from a Congress-ruled state or even a school or a university?” Trivedi added.

Meanwhile on Friday, Haryana Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, claiming that Congress members will not listen to a person who collaborates with "anti-national forces".

Speaking to ANI, Dhanda said, "He (Rahul Gandhi) has come to tell his party members things that the people of Haryana or Congress workers do not want to hear at all. No Congress leader can say that Rahul Gandhi is speaking wrong. The person who collaborates with anti-national forces, goes abroad and reads the script given by them to insult India or holds tea parties with such people – Congress members are not going to listen to such a person."

Further, BJP leader Gourav Vallabh said that an investigation must be launched into Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's visits abroad, which propels foreign leaders to "interfere in Indian matters", referring to New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's letter on Umar Khalid.

Vallabh, while talking to ANI, referred to Mamdani's letter on Umar Khalid, an accused in the North East Delhi riots larger Conspiracy case.

He said, "I would urge the Mayor of New York that since he lives in America, he should talk about America and not interfere in any way in India's internal matters because India will not tolerate it.. No work will be done in the country based on your letter, pressure, or narrative-building. Whenever LoP Rahul Gandhi goes abroad, such letters come. There should be an investigation into who he meets and what he tells them, which leads people to send such letters to India. This matter should be investigated." (ANI)
