At the Congress-orchestrated ‘Kisan Maha Chaupal’ in Bhopal, Rahul Gandhi didn’t hold back, targeting the central government’s reticence amid a reported Chinese military push. Protesting the recent India-US trade interim deal, the mega event had Mallikarjun Kharge in attendance.
Gandhi revealed his thwarted attempt to debate former Army Chief MM Naravane’s book in the Lok Sabha. The narrative unfolds with Chinese tanks nearing the border; Naravane urgently phoned Rajnath Singh, met with indecision.
Outreach to Ajit Doval and S Jaishankar brought no relief. Almost two hours later, Singh urged PM contact, passing on the evasive directive: ‘Take appropriate action.’ This abandonment, Gandhi contended, betrayed the troops.
He spotlighted the democratic deficit: barring the Leader of Opposition from speaking post-President’s address defies tradition.
On women’s plight, Gandhi flagged the harrowing Gorakhpur case of February 22—a Northeast doctor from Nagaland trailed, taunted, and allegedly sexually assaulted. Such acts signal rampant intolerance and insecurity plaguing the nation.
Revving up Youth Congress enthusiasts, he branded them ‘Babbar Sher,’ fierce warriors undaunted by challenges. The Bhopal spectacle underscored escalating Congress-BJP confrontations.
