Political Firestorm: BJP Demands Apology from Gandhis Over Pitroda’s Pakistan Remarks

The BJP has called upon Congress leaders, Rahul and Sonia Gandhi, to apologize following remarks from Congress' Sam Pitroda expressing comfort in Pakistan. The BJP branded these comments as 'anti-national', alleging that they reflect the Gandhis' policy. Congress has not yet responded to the accusations.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has demanded an apology from Congress figures Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi. This comes after Sam Pitroda, head of Congress' overseas department, made remarks during a past visit to Pakistan, stating he 'felt at home' there. BJP has condemned these comments as 'anti-national.'

BJP's national spokesperson, Pradeep Bhandari, criticized Pitroda’s statement as an 'insult' to Indian soldiers, alleging that the remarks glorify Pakistan under the guidance of Rahul Gandhi. Bhandari argues that the Gandhis should apologize to Indian soldiers for Pitroda's controversial comments.

The controversy has sparked accusations from BJP, with spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla claiming that Congress harbors an 'undying love for Pakistan.' Poonawalla further charged Congress with leniency towards Pakistan in past diplomatic and security issues.
