'Just because your are not...': BJP attacks Rahul over Pegasus remarks at Cambridge; Cong hits back

The BJP sharpened its attack on Rahul Gandhi on Saturday, accusing the Congress leader of speaking against India in a foreign country and making such allegations about the conditions in the country which even Pakistan does not dare to do

While the whole world is using good words to describe India, its main opposition leader is claiming on foreign soil that the country has been destroyed and democracy is no longer there while the judiciary and the media are in a bad shape, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters.

Patra questioned if Gandhi was working as an agent on the payroll of an agency to bring down India.

Following BJP's attack, the Congress hit back at the BJP for criticising Rahul Gandhi's remarks at the Cambridge University, saying the ruling party's statements either stem from ignorance or from "completely contrived politics" both of which have no place in a democracy.

Addressing a press conference at the AICC headquarters in New Delhi, Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said Gandhi is a leading member of India's politics and as a member of a party which was in power earlier as well as a leading member of the Opposition, he has consistently stood for and espoused the causes of the common man.
