The “cowardice” remarks made by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in Colombia against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have created an uproar in the political circles. He also criticised the Narendra Modi government, claiming an “attack on India’s democracy”.

The BJP has jumped into the mounting controversy, raising strong objections against remarks made by Rahul Gandhi, labelling them as “anti-India” and “insulting” to the nation. A BJP leader said that it was Gandhi’s nature to tarnish India’s image abroad.

Rajasthan Minister of State (MoS) Jawahar Singh Bedham lashed out at Gandhi over the latter’s “attack on democracy” remarks, saying that it was the nature of the Leader of Opposition (LoP) Lok Sabha to tarnish India’s image abroad.
