This was followed by BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's criticism, questioning Congress' ties with individuals associated with the Soros Foundation and foreign figures who have criticized India. Dubey said, "Was Salil Shetty not in Bharat Jodo Yatra? Is he not an employee of the Soros Foundation? Did they not meet Ilhan Omar, Barbara Lee, or Ro Khanna, who wrote a letter in America asking to boycott the PM and not address him in Parliament? Don't they want to create Khalistan and divide Kashmir? They meet all the elements in foreign countries who want to break India. Didn't they meet Amartya Sen or Harsh Mander who were in NAC, who are all associated with the Soros Foundation?"
Earlier in the day, BJP MP Sambit Patra launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, calling him the "traitor of the highest order." Patra alleged that Gandhi is part of a "triangle" with billionaire George Soros and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) aimed at destabilizing India.
Speaking at a news conference in the capital, BJP MP Sambit Patra said, "We are going to talk about this dangerous triangle which is trying to destabilize India. In this triangle, on one side is George Soros from America, some agencies of America; on the other side of the triangle is a big news portal named OCCRP... the last and the most important side of the triangle is Rahul Gandhi, 'traitor of the highest order.' I am not scared to say this word... I don't have any hesitation to call the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha a traitor."
Patra accused Gandhi of betraying the country, claiming that he follows the directives of the OCCRP. "OCCRP is a global media agency, crores of people read what they publish... Open Society Foundation is a big funder of this agency... it is George Soros's foundation... such agencies work for the interests of the people who fund them... LoP Rahul Gandhi is betraying the whole country... OCCRP dictates and Rahul Gandhi follows," he added.
Patra alleged that Rahul Gandhi and US billionaire George Soros share a common goal of destabilizing India. "If OCCRP is hurt, Rahul cries; if Rahul cries, OCCRP feels pain. These are two entities, their soul is one... whatever (George) Soros says, Rahul says the same. Soros wants bad for India, Rahul Gandhi also wants bad for India... Salil Shetty accompanied him on the Bharat Jodo Yatra that he had started. Salil Shetty is Vice President of George Soros' Open Society Foundation. In this way, they are two bodies and one soul," he said.
