SC Slams Rahul Gandhi: BJP Accuses Him of 'Weakening India, Strengthening China'

The Supreme Court on Monday issued a stern rebuke to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his comments about the Indian Army, causing a political uproar. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seized on the court's remarks to allege that Gandhi is undermining India's national security interests while empowering China.

Throughout this controversy, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and BJP spokespersons have emphasized Gandhi's alleged disrespect for India's armed forces, citing past instances such as his comments on surgical strikes. They argue that his behavior is influenced by foreign forces and demand a formal apology from Gandhi and his party.

The Supreme Court's assessment of Gandhi as lacking responsibility and harming India's image has further inflamed political tensions. BJP representatives assert that Gandhi's actions jeopardize his credibility and highlight a concerning pattern of opposition party collusion with hostile states.
