Rahul Gandhi: Rahul Gandhi’s recent address at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom sparked a verbal battle between the BJP and the Congress, with former government minister Ravi Shankar Prasad accusing the Congressman on Tuesday of “insulting” India’s democracy from a foreign country. Prasad was accused of fabricating, twisting, and lying “with a straight face,” the Congress shot back at Prasad.
Rahul Gandhi has sought to shame India’s democracy-Ravi Shankar Prasad
“The BJP would like to very emphatically state with great agony that Mr. Rahul Gandhi has sought to shame India’s democracy, India’s polity, India’s Parliament, India’s judicial system, and her strategic security from a foreign land,” Prasad said in a statement to the media from the Bharatiya Janata Party headquarters in New Delhi.
No foreign government must intervene in India’s domestic affairs-Ravi Shankar Prasad
Gandhi, he said, has forsaken all political propriety, legislative rules, and “democratic shame” by criticising Indians abroad. “It’s totally disgraceful that Rahul Gandhi, from a foreign land, has tried to damage the spirits of India’s consensus on the matter that no foreign government must intervene in India’s domestic affairs,” said Prasad in reference to Gandhi’s remarks.
Misusing the venue of the British parliament
A “proper rebuttal” was required, according to the Lok Sabha Member, who also expressed the dissatisfaction of Gandhi for “misusing the venue of the British parliament” to disseminate dishonourable lies and unsubstantiated assertions. Gandhi’s backing is a remote thing, he said, and Indians neither listen to him nor understand him. Gandhi was accused of wanting “intervention” from the US and Europe, he continued. He claimed that Rahul Gandhi had made an attempt to discredit the nation by suggesting that Europe and America should meddle in Indian internal matters.
Prasad requested comments from Sonia Gandhi
Prasad requested comments from Sonia Gandhi, the current president of the Congress, and Mallikarjun Kharge over the “utterly reckless” utterances and whether the opposition party disavows them or not. Additionally, he attacked Gandhi for his criticism of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), asserting that the Hindutva group has been beneficial to society and the country. He asserted that while Congress has been losing ground and will continue to lose ground in the Lok Sabha elections of 2024, the ideology and influence of the Sangh have now expanded throughout the nation.

Indian democratic system is threatened and under strain-Rahul Gandhi
“The Indian democratic system is threatened and under strain. I am the leader of the opposition in India, and we are negotiating that territory. What is occurring is that the institutional structure needed for a democracy—Parliament, a free press, the judiciary—is getting confined. Even the concept of mobilisation and movement is being restricted. Thus, Rahul Gandhi added in his speech, “We are witnessing an attack on the fundamental elements of Indian democracy.
