# Rajnath slams Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Modi as ‘low-level’, ‘undignified’ 2026-08-15T01:26:36+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday described Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India's foreign policy as 'extremely low-level' and 'condemnable'. Singh said he had never witnessed a Leader of the Opposition engage in such conduct, citing former leaders from both the BJP and Congress. The remarks were made at a Congress event on August 13 where Gandhi alleged China was preventing Indian forces from patrolling in Arunachal Pradesh and accused the government of trying to suppress information. Union Ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan and J.P. Nadda also condemned Gandhi's comments, with Chouhan calling them 'un-Indian, undignified, and undemocratic'. Singh questioned whether the Congress could claim the legacy of its historic leaders after such remarks. At the same event, Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit made comments about Italy's Prime Minister, drawing additional criticism from the BJP. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com - thehindu.com Tags: Arunachal Pradesh, BJP, China incursions, Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, Rajnath Singh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bjp-slams-rahul-gandhi-over-indecent-remarks-on-pm-modi/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
