| Sam Pitroda exposes Congress' global nexus, Rahul Gandhi part of Anti-India Alliance: Gaurav | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 27: BJP Spokesperson and Convener for International Affairs Gaurav Gupta on Saturday intensified its attack on the Congress, alleging that senior leader Sam Pitroda has inadvertently exposed the party's alleged links with what it termed as "anti-India global forces," triggering a fresh political storm over Rahul Gandhi's foreign engagements.
Issuing a statement, Gaurav Gupta said that Rahul Gandhi's repeated foreign visits and remarks critical of India have long raised concerns, but Sam Pitroda's recent comments have now provided what he described as a "clear admission" from within the Congress ecosystem itself. Gupta asserted that Pitroda, regarded as Rahul Gandhi's family advisor and a key ideological influence, revealed that the Congress is part of the Global Progressive Alliance (GPA) and that Rahul Gandhi attended a conference in Germany under this platform.
According to Gupta, Pitroda went further to state that Rahul Gandhi is a member of the presidium of the Global Progressive Alliance, while Pitroda himself is a member. "This means Rahul Gandhi holds a leadership position in a global political alliance whose activities and affiliations raise serious questions," Gupta said, adding that the alliance reportedly works in coordination with agencies and organisations that have consistently taken positions against India on international platforms.
The Gaurav also questioned Pitroda's claim that the Global Progressive Alliance represents democracies from 110 countries, asking why the Congress has failed to disclose the names of these countries or the nature of the alliance's objectives. "If everything is transparent and in India's interest, why is there ambiguity and secrecy?" Gupta asked, demanding clarity from the Congress leadership.
Gupta further referred to Rahul Gandhi's meetings during his foreign visits, including his interaction with Cornelia Woll, a member of the presidium of the Central European University, an institution funded by George Soros' Open Society Foundation. He said this meeting, coupled with Pitroda's admissions, points to a larger pattern of association with global entities that have been critical of India's democratic institutions and policies.
Calling it a matter of national concern, Gupta said the Congress must explain whether it has become part of a "nefarious nexus of global forces working to undermine India's interests." He stressed that these were no longer allegations made by the BJP but statements made by Sam Pitroda himself, who has been associated with the Gandhi family for decades and is widely seen as an architect of Rahul Gandhi's ideological worldview.
Gupta said that Rahul Gandhi's habit of raising internal political issues on foreign soil and aligning with international platforms that question India's sovereignty and democratic processes cannot be brushed aside as coincidence. "The people of India deserve to know whether the Congress leadership's priorities lie with the nation or with international political networks," he said.
The BJP reiterated its demand for a clear and categorical response from the Congress and Rahul Gandhi on their association with the Global Progressive Alliance, the nature of its activities, and the role played by foreign-funded institutions in shaping political narratives about India. |
