The war of words between Congress and External Affairs S Jaishankar is continuing. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh hit back at Jaishankar for his criticism of Rahul Gandhi for his remarks made in the US recently. He said Prime Minister Narendra Modi began taking domestic politics abroad first.

On Ramesh’s tweet, people wrote various comments, where one said Rahul Gandhi is a failed dynast and has been rejected by 1.2 billion people of the country twice and has now turned to the Indian NRI population living abroad. He also said the hypocrisy of Congress knew no limits.

Earlier, Jaishankar had slammed Gandhi for his habit of criticising India outside the country, saying this was not good for the health of democracy in India. He added, he did not have a problem with what happened within the country, but taking politics outside the national boundaries was not best for the nation’s interest.

Congress General Secretary Randeep Surjewala mocked that the BJP had given an old script to Jaishankar and he should read a new one. He further added, the Prime Minister had made fun of previous governments and insulted the country’s 70-year-old history, whereas Rahul Gandhi had said that there was a planned systematic attack going on the democratic institutions of the country, which was the truth.

Earlier, Jaishankar had said in a press conference that Gandhi has a habit of criticizing the country and making comments on domestic politics in foreign soil. He said the world has its eyes set on India and this creates a detrimental effect on the image of the country on the world stage. He said elections are held and sometimes one party wins or the other party wins. He was confident the NDA-led government would come back to power in 2024.

He advised Rahul Gandhi that taking politics outside India will not help in improving his face value.
