Full throttle: BJP has been on the offensive since last week when it alleged that Rahul and Sonia Gandhi had links with Soros-backed outfits allegedly involved in ‘anti-India activities’ NEW DELHI: BJP persisted with its allegations of a Congress-George Soros link both inside and outside Parliament, challenging the opposition party to spell out its response. Taking up from where it left off last week when it went on the offensive, the party on Monday alleged that a "systematic anti-India experiment" was in the works and after the recent developments, the "dots are now connecting". "Congress's hand is with foreign forces.
It's clearly visible now. Congress wants to make the country's condition worse," BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said at a press conference. Trivedi reiterated the allegations made by his party on Sunday that Sonia Gandhi had links to the Forum of Democratic Leaders-Asia Pacific (FDL-AP) Foundation, an organisation financed by the George Soros Foundation, which has backed the idea of Kashmir as an independent nation.
Noting that Sonia Gandhi was co-president of FDL-AP Foundation, he said, "It is Sonia Gandhi's birthday today. We congratulate her on her birthday. FDL-AP is funded by George Soros.
Most humbly, we ask her why she accepted the position of FDL-AP co-president. What is the Congress-Soros friendship about? It's the same George Soros who had openly pledged that he has put up $1 billion to destabilise the Modi govt." Calling it a "serious matter", Trivedi said he and other members of Rajya Sabha wanted to raise this issue in the House but opposition did not allow it.
BJP has been on the offensive over the issue since last week when it alleged that leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi and Sonia had links with Soros-backed outfits allegedly involved in " anti-India activities ". On Monday, Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan dismissed Rahul's protests outside Parliament over the Adani issue as "stand-up comedy". "Rahul Gandhi is indulging in what he does best - stand-up comedy.
His malicious claims and rants have crumbled under the weight of comprehensive investigation every time. Playing the role of a pawn to perfection, he yet again attempts to mislead despite his misinformation campaigns failing to cut ice with the people of India," Pradhan posted on X. Congress has dismissed the allegations and said that the real conspiracy unfolding in Parliament is meant to save businessman Gautam Adani.
