Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has maligned India on the global stage while delivering a lecture at Cambridge University. He has blatantly lied about India on foreign soil during a lecture at the Cambridge Judge Business School (Cambridge JBS) on “Learning to Listen in the 21st Century”.
Responding to this, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma Rahul Gandhi said that his speech was “a brazen attempt to denigrate our country on foreign soil”. He made a series of tweets and stated facts
Here are a few of them:
1. Rahul says Indian democracy is under pressure, is under attack
Sarma, said, "He travelled 4,000 km in his yatra incident-free under the protection provided by Modi Govt. Do we need to remind him how yatras led by BJP leaders were sabotaged when Cong was in power?"
2. Rahul says Pegasus was found on his phone and an “officer” warned him regarding it
"Rahul Gandhi refused to submit his phone for investigation when Supreme Court asked for it. Following extensive investigation, SC concluded that there was no evidence of Pegasus," he said in separate tweet.
3. Rahul says India is a Union of States modelled after Europe.
However, the fact is, "Bharat & her Mahajanapadas as a civilisation entity has been in existence thousands of years before even Europe became a political entity, yet we are modelled after them?" Assam CM questioned.
4. Rahul described the Pulwama attack as a “car bomb that killed 40 soldiers”.
"How dare he insult our jawans? It wasn’t a bomb sir, but a terror attack. No surprises that he refused to name Pakistan behind Pulwama attack. Is this part of the understanding Cong had with militants?," Sarma said.
5. Rahul says in Kashmir militants saw him, but he knew they wouldn’t target him.
"Why was this not reported to security agencies? Was there some understanding Cong had with these militants to protect Rahul?," he questioned.
6. Rahul Gandhi praises China as an aspiring superpower, cites Belt and Road initiative (BRI) as an example
BRI is solely responsible for the debt crisis facing several countries today. Uncle Pitroda should have told him this. After Rahul said, China not believing in Intellectual Property Rights is a profound and powerful concept, Sarma responded to it saying that, "Want to ask if P Chidambaram also thinks that discarding copyright laws and encouraging piracy will boost manufacturing? Rahul even admits he is fascinated by China and Communist party members have shaped his thoughts."
"Such rich praise for the Chinese is understandable. Gandhi family is trying to pay off its debts for the donations they took from them!" he said.
