"Hate advertisement": BJP' Sudhanshu Trivedi targets Rahul Gandhi over protest posters in US
Sep 21, 2024
New Delhi [India], September 21 : BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after the alleged circulation of a protest poster targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to New York on Saturday.
Speaking to ANI, the BJP leader said, "After Rahul Gandhi's return after playing politics with his sponsored pawns, I feel that the same group in America is now showing this hate advertisement against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is an objectionable poster."
"It is a hate advertisement and it is beyond doubt that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi got the meeting and support of those forces who are declared enemies of India. Are they the same group showing this hate advertisement?" said Trivedi.
BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya also took to his social media handle on X and shared the poster that read, "Protest: Modi, You're Not Welcome in New York" and called on people to "raise your voice against a decade of oppression."
The BJP IT cell head accused the Congress leader of indulging in "divisive anti-India politics," including hobnobbing with agencies and collaborating with forces inimical to India's interest
Malviya alleged that Gandhi's overseas engagements have consistently been detrimental to India's image.
"Every time Rahul Gandhi goes abroad, he indulges in the most divisive anti-India politics, including hobnobbing with agencies and collaborating with forces inimical to India's interest. He has gone to the extent of pleading with Western powers to interfere in Indian politics," read the post by Malviya.
"The Congress will never succeed is a different matter. But now, Sam Pitroda and his cohorts, are planning a protest against the Prime Minister, when he visits New York. Rahul Gandhi should remember he is seeking political relevance in India and the people of Bharat will give him a befitting reply, when the time comes," added the post.
Modi embarked on a three-day visit to the US to attend key international meetings, including a Quad summit and a United Nations General Assembly address.
Meanwhile, PM Modi arrived at Philadelphia International Airport on Saturday morning (local time) on the first day of his three-day visit to the United States.
Philadelphia was the site of the First and Second Continental Congresses and the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
The Prime Minister said that his meeting with President Biden will allow the two countries to review and identify new pathways to further deepen India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership.
