Rahul Gandhi working in coordination with George Soros, anti-India forces: Kiren Rijiju

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju on Saturday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for following a "very dangerous track", and accused the former Congress president of working in coordination with "anti-India" George Soros.

The Union Minister reiterated that despite these conspiracies, the country remained secure under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.

In an interview with ANI, Rijiju said, "Rahul Gandhi is going on a very dangerous track. George Soros says that one trillion dollars are kept to destabilise the Indian government. The anti-India Khalistan force sitting in Canada, the US, the UK, and many Left organisations are conspiring to work against the country. Rahul Gandhi and Congress are working in coordination with them and weakening the country. This is very worrisome. But no one can destabilise the country under PM Modi's leadership."

Rijiju added that Rahul's own party MPs "get uncomfortable" when he speaks in Parliament and are apprehensive that he will do "anap-shanap baatein" and the party will have to bear the consequences.

"Rahul Gandhi kuch bolte hain, unke saare MPs bahot uncomfortable ho jaate hain. Wo darte hain ye anapshanap baatein karenge, uska khamiyaza party ko bhugatna padta hai...(When Rahul Gandhi speaks, his MPs get uncomfortable what nonsense he will speak, the party will have to bear its consequences," the minister remarked.

Rijiju recalled the Supreme Court's remarks over Rahul Gandhi's "Chowkidar chor" allegations and his being rapped over his remarks pertaining to India-China border tensions during Bharat Jodo Yatra.
