Lucknow, 7 June (HS): Uttar Pradesh

Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya attacked the Congress leader and

said that the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has become

completely 'unbridled' and the direction of his statements is now clearly

against the national interest.

The way Rahul Gandhi repeatedly makes baseless

allegations on the Indian Army; puts him in the role of a spokesperson of

Pakistan, not a responsible MP. He said that Rahul Gandhi's tone is neither in

line with the people of the country, nor does it match with the spirit of

India's sovereignty and security, rather the 'dictation' of foreign powers is

clearly visible in his language and gestures.

Maurya said that whenever India

conducts a surgical strike or air strike against Pakistan, Rahul Gandhi's

'tongue becomes Pakistani'. He said that Rahul Gandhi often insults the valour

and sacrifice of our soldiers by questioning the valour of the country's army.

Whenever India takes decisive action against terrorism, whenever our army gives

a befitting reply to the enemies, then leaders like Rahul Gandhi start worrying

more about Pakistan and international lobbies than India.

He also said that Congress leaders

have now started considering 'nationalism' as trivial and have started giving

priority to 'vote bank' and 'choice of vote bank'. Rahul Gandhi's behavior is

not only against parliamentary decorum but is also weakening the country's

security policy. The country has full right to know at whose behest the

opposition leaders stand against India. Modi government and the people of the

country stand with the army and nationalism. It is now the need of the hour to

teach such 'unbridled statement givers' a lesson in the dignity of democracy

and patriotism.
