The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The ruling party's outrage over Rahul Gandhi's tone risks distracting from the substance of his questions about Chinese incursions. Calling a political opponent's conduct 'un-Indian' or 'Italian culture' only deepens the partisan trench. What matters is not hurt feelings but facts: whether patrol rights in Arunachal have indeed changed. The government can settle this by releasing the latest ground report from the border. That single document, not televised condemnations, will tell voters who is serious about national security.
