‘They have this habit of writing letters of surrender’
While addressing a convention of Congress workers in Bhopal, Rahul said, “Now, I understand RSS-BJP well. If slight pressure is put on them, they run away out of fear. When Trump called Modi ji-‘Modi ji kya kar rahe ho, Narender-Surrender and with ‘ji hazooor’, Narender ji followed Trump. In the 1971 war, Seventh Fleet (came from the US), Indira Gandhi said I will do whatever I have to do. This is the difference. This is their character; all of them are like this. Since the Independence movement, they have this habit of writing letters of surrender.”

ट्रंप का एक फोन आया और नरेंद्र जी तुरंत surrender हो गए – इतिहास गवाह है, यही BJP-RSS का character है, ये हमेशा झुकते हैं।

‘Rahul Gandhi’s heart beats for Pakistan’
Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s statement, BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari said, “Rahul Gandhi’s words reflect his values as he makes such indecent remarks against the country’s Prime Minister. But this is what can be expected from Rahul Gandhi, whose heart beats for Pakistan. Because when he offers floral tribute to the statue of his grandmother, Indira Gandhi, he does not remove his shoes… Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has given a befitting reply to Pakistan’s terror masters. From Salman Khurshid to Shashi Tharoor, every Congress leader is talking about this and Pakistan itself is giving evidence of this… The people of the country see this uncivilised Rahul Gandhi as an agent of Pakistan.”
