Rahul Gandhi has the habit of making fabricated allegations beyond facts. There are several instances, besides him lying, where Rahul Gandhi has chosen to willingly undermine India’s sovereignty.

Mir Jafar of the New India: A commander in the Bengal army under Siraj ud-Daulah, Mir Jafar had betrayed the nawab during the 1757 Battle of Plassey, which eventually paved the way for British rule in India. In his Euro 2023 Trip, speaking to a foreign audience and that too in a country which ruled India for 150 years, Rahul Gandhi made remarks that democracy in India was under threat and that India’s minorities and the press were being attacked by BJP under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Then he went on to cross the laxman-rekha by expressing his displeasure at the European Union and the United States for not subscribing to his viewpoint and urged these foreign nations to interfere in our nation’s internal matters — indirectly suggesting them to help the Congress party win elections and anoint him as the crown prince. It is pertinent to remember that earlier, Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar had asked Pakistan to bestow a similar favor.

Seeking foreign interference in the internal affairs of the country erodes India’s image on the world map. Such appeals do not behoove any parliamentarian, let alone someone seeking to become the Prime Minister. Today, India is asserting itself as a deft world player with increasing success. In this context, Rahul Gandhi’s remarks damaged India’s image at a time when world leaders are visiting India for G-20 meetings.

Democracy in Danger: The practice of selective amnesia is a time-tested technique used by Congress scion Rahul Gandhi. When words drop from Rahul Gandhi’s dynastic lips, the Indian voter who, for more than half a century, had entrusted his bloodline to govern the political apparatus of this ancient civilization, feels scared. This scary quotient is further heightened when he speaks about the Indian Constitution, that singularly has been the victim of unbelievable vandalism and hammering at the hands of his “Iron Lady” grandmother. Congress’ fortunes under Rahul Gandhi might be at peril, but India’s democracy is alive, well and kicking. It is not Narendra Modi, but Rahul Gandhi’s grandmother Indira Gandhi who threatened India’s democracy during the Emergency, when the Constitution was suspended and the Supreme Court rendered impotent; it was his grandmother Indira Gandhi who invoked Article 356 fifty times to suspend and dismiss legitimately elected non-Congress state governments — Rahul Gandhi should do well to remember this the next time he opens his mouth to speak about democracy and Constitution.

It was because of Rahul Gandhi’s great-grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru, that Majrooh Sultanpuri was jailed for writing a poem against Nehru; Mark Robson’s fictional film on the assassination of MK Gandhi, “Nine Hours to Rama” was banned as it exposed security lapses that led to Bapu’s murder; VS Naipaul’s travelogue during Nehru’s times, “An area of Darkness” was banned; Alexander Campbell’s, “The Heart of India” was banned for being “repulsive” as it exposed the working of Indian bureaucracy under Congress; Kurt Frischler’s book, “Ayesha” was banned; Bertrand Russel’s, “Unarmed Victory” was banned as it showed India’s political masters during the India-China 1962 war in poor light; Mrinal Sen’s, “Neel Akasher Neechey” was banned for it showcased the social-economic abyss under Nehru; English weekly, “Organizer” was censored for being critical of the Nehru government; Nathuram Godse’s testimony was banned; President Rajendra Prasad speech was barred from distribution — Rahul Gandhi should do well to remember this the next time he opens his mouth to speak about democracy and Constitution.

There is every reason to believe that Rahul Gandhi’s knowledge of the Constitution and democracy such as it is, comes from his dense association with JNU-style far-Left radicals and his quid pro quos with the global NGO network innately hostile to India. After faking “antar-aatma ki awaaz” as the reason behind declining the Prime Minster post in 2004, Sonia Gandhi formed her own kitchen cabinet, became a super PM and went on to form an extra-constitutional ‘National Advisory Council’ to control the Manmohan Singh government. The NAC members who enjoyed the status of cabinet ministers without any accountability came from a wide spectrum — they were associated with Church funded NGOs, were Islamists and often terror apologists as well.  Crown prince Rahul Gandhi himself tore an ordinance brought by the UPA government at a press conference — Rahul Gandhi should do well to remember this the next time he opens his mouth to speak about democracy and Constitution.

The same guy who stood behind the slogan ‘Bharat tere tukde honge’ now talks of democracy, Constitution and “Bharat Jodo”. Irony has just committed hara-kiri. Rahul Gandhi’s and Congress’ actions have left them little room for taking the moral high ground. To pose, again and again, as the savior of the country, is not in accordance with the facts.
