New Delhi, March 12
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s soul will be at peace when China, Russia and the US attack India, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said on Thursday while accusing the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha of being involved in a conspiracy to “break” India.
“He seems to want the prime minister to abuse Donald Trump in the morning, abuse Vladimir Putin in the afternoon and in the evening abuse Xi Jinping. If the prime minister insults all three, then Rahul Gandhi’s soul will find peace,” Dubey told reporters inside the Parliament House complex.
“When Russia, America and China together boycott India, or even attack India, then his heart will feel satisfied because George Soros’ agenda of breaking India would have succeeded,” he said.
“I always say this — there is a conspiracy to break India and Rahul Gandhi is involved in that conspiracy,” he added.
Dubey, the MP from Godda in Jharkhand, also criticised former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s decision to send the Indian Peace Keeping Force to Sri Lanka during the island nation’s civil war.
“When a civil war was going on in Sri Lanka, Rajiv Gandhi forcibly sent the Indian Army there. The result was that, for the first time abroad, the prime minister of our country was attacked by soldiers of that very country,” he said.
Hitting out at the opposition, Dubey said the country has never seen “such a low, undisciplined and reckless opposition”.
Referring to the ongoing debate on the availability of LPG, he claimed that while several neighbouring countries are facing shortages, India is in a far better position.
“You should understand this: Pakistan has virtually shut down for four days. About 90 per cent of the restaurants there are closed. In Bangladesh, around 95 per cent of restaurants have shut down. In Sri Lanka, nearly 98 per cent of restaurants are closed and vehicles are not even running there,” he claimed.
“The situation in Singapore, Dubai and Oman is also bad. Almost all our neighbouring countries are facing difficulties. Even China’s situation is not good. Instead of supporting the government in such circumstances, what is the opposition doing?” he said.
Dubey also contrasted the current situation with the period between 2004 and 2014, saying that people had to stand in long queues for LPG cylinders during that time.
“LPG was once considered a facility for the rich. Today, by providing gas connections to 13 crore people, the prime minister has ensured that the same facility is available to the poor as well,” he said.
Instead of supporting such efforts, the opposition is indulging in partisan politics, he alleged.
