In the wake of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's comments at a seminar in Colombia, the BJP launched a vehement criticism against him, accusing him of attempting to damage India's international standing. Speaking at EIA University in Medellin, Gandhi underscored both the potential and challenges facing India, particularly concerning its democratic infrastructure.
Gandhi expressed optimism about India's contributions to the world but also cited a significant threat to Indian democracy as a pressing concern. In contrast, the BJP maintained that democracy is flourishing in India, condemning Gandhi's remarks as unfounded and harmful to India's image abroad.
BJP leaders, including Ravi Shankar Prasad and Amit Malviya, dismissed Gandhi's assertions, arguing that his statements were driven by desperation for power amid dwindling support for his party. They urged Gandhi to refrain from maligning India for political gain, labeling his actions as disgraceful on international platforms.
