Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], September 9 (ANI): BJP MP Anurag Thakur on Monday slammed the Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his recent statements made in Texas and Dallas, USA, and said that he is the LoP now and should not do anything that spoils India’s image across the world.
He also highlighted that there is a huge difference in unemployment rates during UPA’s and NDA’s tenure.
Thakur said, “He should see the difference in unemployment rates during their time and NDA’s tenure. We have reduced the unemployment rate and increased employment opportunities. Rahul Gandhi should not defame India abroad. Investment worth crores is coming into the country. Today India has become the hope and bright spot of the world.”
“We have seen ‘Nafrat ka saman’ being sold them in their ‘Mohabbat ki Dukaan’. The country has seen everything from 1984 riots till now. He is the LoP now, and he should speak responsibly. He should not do anything that spoils India’s image across the world,” the BJP MP added.
Thakur was in Jammu to support BJP candidate for Jammu West constituency, Arvind Gupta.
Further targeting the National Conference and Congress alliance, Anurag Thakur said they want to take Jammu and Kashmir backwards.
“Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah, together with Congress, want to scrap PSA and release terrorists, drug peddlers, stone-pelters, and separatists. This shows they want to take J-K backwards. What is their compulsion to support Pakistan? We want peace, progress and prosperity,” he said.
Earlier on Sunday, Rahul Gandhi talked about issues faced by the youth due to unemployment and said that the act of production creates jobs but India organises consumption, which is a reason for worry.
He said, “The act of production creates jobs. What we do, what the Americans do, what the West does, is we organise consumption.” Rahul Gandhi compared the current global production landscape to past decades, noting that while countries like China now dominate production, the West, including India, has shifted focus away from it.
Rahul Gandhi also addressed ideological differences with the RSS, saying, “The RSS believes that India is one idea, and we believe that India is a multiplicity of ideas.”
He added that Congress supports inclusion and diversity, while accusing the Prime Minister of attacking the Indian Constitution. Gandhi was welcomed in Dallas by Sam Pitroda and members of the Indian diaspora. (ANI)
