New Delhi:
The Bharatiya Janata Party on Friday pointed frantically at a 2024 meeting between Rahul Gandhi and United States lawmaker Janice Schakowsky – who this week joined seven others in asking the Indian government to release 2020 Delhi riots case accused Umar Khalid from prison, where he has been held for five years without a trial – as further evidence of the Congress leader’s “anti-India” stance.
The BJP’s Pradeep Bhandari posted a photograph of Gandhi with Schakowsky and Ilhan Omar, another US lawmaker whom the ruling party routinely claims is “anti-India”, and declared, “Every time an anti-India narrative is peddled abroad one name recurs in the background… those who want to weaken India, defame its elected government, and dilute its anti-terror laws converge around him.”
Neither the Congress nor Rahul Gandhi have responded so far.
In his post Bhandari claimed a link between Gandhi’s 2024 trip to the US, and meeting with Schakowsky and Omar, and a bill sponsored by the latter that was tabled in January 2025.
