The visit of the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, to America seems to be surrounded by controversies. He has also met anti-India American MP Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar had visited PoK for some time. She also criticized India’s control over Kashmir. It is believed that Ilhan’s visit to PoK was sponsored by Pakistan. Not only this, Ilhan is accused of spreading false news that 20 crore Muslims are on the verge of genocide.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi interacted with students and teachers in universities as well as Indian expatriates during his visit to the US. During this, he also met US lawmakers. The meeting, held at the Rayburn House Office Building, was hosted by Congressman Bradley James Sherman and was attended by US Congress members Jonathan Jackson, Ro Khanna, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Barbara Lee, Shri Thanedar, Jesus G. “Chuy” Garcia, Ilhan Omar, Hank Johnson and Jan Schakowsky. Rahul Gandhi also met US diplomat Donald Lu and MP Pramila Jayapal.
A photo of Ilhan Omar with Rahul Gandhi is going viral on social media. After this, the ruling BJP is attacking Congress and Rahul Gandhi. Party spokesperson and IT cell chief Amit Malviya has also attacked.
In one of his posts on X, Malviya wrote, “India’s opposition leader Rahul Gandhi met Ilhan Omar in the US, a Pakistan-sponsored anti-India voice. A radical Islamist and advocate of independent Kashmir. Even Pakistani leaders will be more cautious about being seen with such extremist elements. Congress is now openly working against India.”
At the same time, another BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari has also attacked. He wrote, ‘Rahul Gandhi’s meeting with Pakistan-backed anti-India Omar makes it clear that Rahul stands with the anti-India sections and boosts their morale.’
