Accusing him of “bringing shame to the nation”, the BJP on Wednesday targeted Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for his comments on External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh said Jaishankar held the meeting with Xi to express the nation’s “concern over Pakistan-sponsored Pahalgam terrorist attack”.
“We all know how Rahul Gandhi used to hold secret meetings with the China officials for breakfast or whatever in Delhi without disclosing the agenda to the people of the nation,” said Chugh.
In a post on X, Gandhi had criticised Jaishankar, saying, “I guess the Chinese foreign minister will come and apprise Modi about recent developments in China-India ties. The EAM is now running a full blown circus aimed at destroying India’s foreign policy.”
