Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his remarks during his Diwali visit to Bastar in Chhattisgarh, particularly his reference to “intellectual Naxals”.
Rahul Gandhi once again challenged the prime minister to an open debate on who the real anti-national elements are and who is being controlled by foreign powers.
In a post on X, tagging the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Rahul Gandhi claimed that the expressions on the faces of security personnel showed that they were unconvinced by the prime minister’s remarks.”Your faces said it all. You did not believe the Prime Minister’s lies. He called us Naxals,” Rahul Gandhi said in his post.
His comments came in response to Modi’s remarks on Naxalism while addressing security personnel during his visit to Bastar. The exchange has added to the political confrontation between the Congress and the BJP over the issue.
