BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Monday launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, calling him ‘Leader of Opposing Bharat’ (LoB) for relentlessly targeting India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s policies.
“The public did not even give them a chance to become the leader of the opposition. The one time he became, he (Rahul Gandhi) has changed from LoP to LoB (Leader of Opposing Bharat). His agenda is to oppose India, the Indian Army and PM Modi," he said.
“He should be called LoB from now on. Rahul Gandhi has become the poster boy of Pakistan’s propaganda. Congress leaders were competing on who should appear the closest to Pakistan," he added.
Upping his criticism against Congress, Thakur said the party leaders were such advocates of Pakistan that they started defending the country before Islamabad. “Pakistan Army and government use Lashkar-e-Rahul’s comments in their favour," he added.
“I thought they had a problem with PM Modi, but now I fully believe that they have an issue with the motherland. Although they claim to be INC (Indian Congress), but their remarks show that they have become Islamabad Congress, as they are spreading Pakistan’s fake narratives."
