GUWAHATI: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma launched a blitzkrieg on Twitter against
Rahul Gandhi saying his lecture at the Cambridge University was “nothing but a brazen attempt to denigrate” India on foreign soil in the guise of targeting Prime Minister
Narendra Modi.
“First foreign agents target us! Then our own targets us on a foreign land!,” Sarma said in one of his several tweets.
“Rahul says Indian democracy is under threat because he can’t freely express himself. FACT: He travelled 4,000 km in his yatra incident-free under the protection provided by Modi Govt. Do we need to remind him how yatras led by BJP leaders were sabotaged when Cong was in power? Ji,” Sarma tweeted.
In another, he tweeted, “Rahul says Pegasus was found on his phone and an “officer” warned him regarding it. FACT: He refused to submit his phone for investigation when Supreme Court asked for it. Following extensive investigation, SC concluded that there was no evidence of Pegasus.”
“Rahul says India’s minorities are unsafe and treated like second class citizens. FACT: Since May 2014, communal violence in India has been the lowest ever and prosperity of minority families the highest ever. Many minority leaders have reposed their faith in Modi Govt,” Sarma said in another tweet.
In yet another tweet, he said, “Rahul says India is a Union of States modelled after Europe. FACT: Bharat & her Mahajanapadas as a civilisation entity has been in existence thousands of years before even Europe became a political entity, yet we are modelled after them?”
“Rahul praises China as an aspiring superpower, cites Belt and Road initiative (BRI) as an example. FACT: BRI is solely responsible for the debt crisis facing several countries today. Uncle Pitroda should have told him this,” Sarma wrote in another tweet.
In his third tweet, Sarma said, “Rahul even admits he is fascinated by China and Communist party members have shaped his thoughts. Such rich praise for the Chinese is understandable. Gandhi family is trying to pay off its debts for the donations they took from them!”
Rahul was addressing MBA students at Cambridge Judge Business School on the topic of “Learning to Listen in the 21st Century.”
