The BJP on Saturday made a scathing attack against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for blaming the Modi Government for " jawans being assaulted and land being taken by China". It called him a "Jaichand" for "insulting" Army personnel and demanded that the Congress "sack" him from the party.
Condemning the Congress leader's comments, BJP president JP Nadda alleged that Congress signing an MoU with Chinese Communist Party and Rajiv Gandhi Foundation taking funding from Chinese embassy could be the reason why "Rahul Gandhi always speaks in favour of Chinese government and Chinese army".
“Rahul Gandhi's statement works to demoralize our Army; no matter how much it is condemned, it is less. Indian army is a symbol of bravery and valour. We also know that he raised questions on surgical strike and Pulwama, this tells that he doesn't speak the language of India. He speaks the same language that Pakistan speaks. I condemn such statements, this shows the mentality of Rahul Gandhi towards the country.” Nadda maintained.
In another blast against the Congress leader, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia said that if Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is “not remote controlled" then he should immediately expel Rahul from the party for his comments, which ”belittle” India and breaks the morale of its armed forces.
