Putting some serious question marks on the patriotism of Congress former president Rahul Gandhi amid debate on Chinese incursion into the Galwan valley and other bordering areas, BJP MP from Bhopal Pragya Thakur here on Sunday claimed one who is born from a foreign woman can’t be a nationalist.
Commenting on Chinese aggression alongside LAC, Thakur claimed that India is a gallant country as people here put country before themselves and sacrifice their lives for the motherland.
Underlining the unedified India concept, Thakur claimed that countries including China have broken away from India in the past and anyone staring at our country doesn’t have the capacity to dent us. Such countries resort to deceit and one who wins in this fashion is called a criminal.
Claiming that none can defeat the valour of the country, the Bhopal MP said that 20 martyred soldiers of India proved that even a single unarmed soldier of our country is capable of killing thousands of armed opponents.
“I firmly believe that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home minister Amit Shah, the nation is absolutely safe,” opined Thakur who had reached to visit photo exhibition put up in the memory of Shyama Prasad Mookerjee in Bhopal.
Thakur came down heavily on the Congress party when asked about opposition’s frequent move of questioning Union Government over India-China stand-off, saying the Congress party has no culture and patriotism.
“Chankya had said that son of the soil could only safeguard this motherland and not the one who is born from a foreign national woman,” said Thakur apparently taking a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
She also took a dig at Sonia-Rahul Gandhi saying you can’t expect nationalism from people who possess dual citizenship.
