New Delhi: Congress has reacted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s criticism of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks about democracy in India during his visit to Cambridge. Congress leader Pawan Khera said that criticizing the Prime Minister is not the same as criticizing the country.
“When is criticizing your policies the same as criticizing the country?” You are only the Prime Minister. “Neither the country nor God,” he added. He added that if there is a discussion about the challenges of Indian democracy in front of students in Cambridge, it is an attempt to strengthen democracy.
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Minister Smriti Irani came forward to criticize Rahul Gandhi. Yogi Adityanath accused that while India’s dominance is growing on global platforms, some people are going abroad and criticizing the country.
While the Prime Minister is trying to promote the country, some are trying to defame the country. Yogi also asked that such people who want to weaken the strong democracy of the country should not be allowed to win. While addressing a public event in Gorakhpur, Yogi criticized Rahul Gandhi without mentioning his name.
At the same time, Smriti Irani responded that Rahul Gandhi’s remarks indicated his fear of losing the 2024 general elections. “It is natural for him to shed tears after the defeat in Amethi. Today, the country has become the fifth largest economy in the world. “Rather than respecting that, Rahul Gandhi’s statement indicates that he is afraid that he will lose again in 2024,” she said. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Smriti Irani had defeated Rahul Gandhi in the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency.
The Prime Minister criticized the remarks made by Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public event in Hubballi-Dharwad, Karnataka. “It is unfortunate that questions are being raised on Indian democracy from London,” the Prime Minister criticized. During his speech at Cambridge University, Rahul Gandhi said that the BJP is trying to destroy the democratic systems and the opposition.
