New Delhi – BJP National General Secretary Tarun Chugh said on Sunday that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been “defaming India on foreign soil” and undermining the country’s cultural values. The comments were made during a BJP event in Amritsar and were reported to .
Chugh accused Gandhi of becoming part of a “foreign toolkit,” using a foreign lens to criticize India. “It is unfortunate that those who once defamed our nation by taking part in a foreign agenda and seeing India through an ‘Italian lens’ now use their followers to claim the title of ‘Jan Nayak’,” he said.
The BJP secretary added that Gandhi’s remarks about the Indian Army and national icons have stripped him of the moral right to be called a people’s leader. “A person who disrespects our Army and great leaders cannot be a Jan Nayak,” Chugh said. He also warned that the public has moved on from the Gandhi‑Nehru family, and that a foreign mindset cannot be accepted in India.
In contrast, Chugh praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, saying that Modi’s government encourages youth to build the nation, while “some leaders are busy defaming the country on foreign platforms.”
JD (U) also criticized Rahul Gandhi. Spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said that politicians should not air India’s internal matters while abroad, stressing that national unity must not be compromised. He noted that Gandhi grew up abroad and tends to speak about India only after leaving the country. Kumar cited Indian icons such as Jawaharlal Nehru, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who always put the nation above all.
