The BJP on Saturday stepped up its attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, alleging that he was speaking against India abroad and making such allegations about the country's conditions, which even Pakistan does not dare to do.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters that while the whole world is using good words to describe India, its main opposition leaders are claiming on foreign soil that the country is ruined and democracy is no more. The condition of the judiciary and media is bad.
He accused Rahul of dissuading investors from investing in India at a time when the world is seeing the country as a "shining star" and foreign companies are leaving China to do business here.
He said, in a big university, he is telling people bad things about India. Pakistan also no longer dares to say these things about India on the global stage, but Gandhi is projecting it as a place where democracy is no more and the judiciary has been compromised.
Patra questioned whether Gandhi was working as an agent on the payroll for some agency to bring India down. In a lecture at the University of Cambridge, Gandhi alleged that Indian democracy was under attack and many leaders, including himself, were being monitored.
The former Congress president listed five main aspects of the alleged attack on Indian democracy - capture and control of media and judiciary; Surveillance and intimidation, coercion by central law enforcement agencies, attacks on minorities—Dalits and Adivasis—and silencing dissent.
Patra alleged that Rahul Gandhi and the Gandhi family can stoop to any low level to destroy the fabric of India. He hit back at the Congress leader saying, "You are not a bright child of your dynastic party, so it doesn't mean India is not a bright place."
The BJP spokesperson said that Gandhi or other Congress leaders did not even submit their mobile phones for investigation by the Supreme Court-appointed probe committee into the allegations of spying through Pegasus malware. He said an RTI reply had revealed that thousands of phones were tapped and hundreds of emails were read by government agencies when the UPA was in power.
