New Delhi, June 28: Political rhetoric has intensified following Congress Parliamentary Party President Sonia Gandhi‘s critique of India’s foreign policy regarding Gaza. On Saturday, NDA leaders launched a strong attack on the Congress party.
BJP spokesperson Tuhin Sinha stated, “Sonia Gandhi frequently writes articles on Gaza and criticizes India’s policy. Only she can explain her motives. India’s foreign policy is clear. We have condemned the loss of civilian lives in Gaza and also denounced the October 2023 terrorist attack by Hamas in Israel, which claimed over 1,100 lives.”
He further remarked, “The Congress party’s duplicity is evident. They shed tears over Gaza but remain silent when discussing Hamas’s terror acts. I believe they do this for electoral gains. They have no real agenda left.”
Sinha added, “India’s foreign policy is straightforward: in any global conflict where India is not directly involved, we stand for peace while safeguarding our citizens’ interests. Congress does not express outrage when Hindus face persecution in Bangladesh. They must rise above this duplicity. The public will continue to reject them due to their inconsistent character.”
BJP leader Rohan Gupta commented, “This article is no coincidence. It reflects the Congress party’s long-standing policy of appeasement. We have seen such articles for years. I want to ask them what they did when people were attacked, killed, and abducted in Israel. They remained silent. I believe opposition parties should not politicize international issues. The reality is that Congress was completely quiet when Hindus were oppressed in Bangladesh.”
On the other hand, Rajiv Ranjan, national spokesperson for the Janata Dal (United), part of the NDA, stated, “India’s foreign policy is in a golden era. The world recognizes India’s diplomacy. Whether it’s QUAD, BRICS, or G7, every Indian should take pride in how India has asserted its diplomatic strength on global platforms. In this context, Sonia Gandhi’s questions are impractical. The country should never appear divided on foreign policy. The Prime Minister represents the nation, not just a party. India’s foreign policy reflects the collective stance of the entire country on global platforms.”
