Why Union Minister Kiren Rijiju calls Rahul Gandhi ‘most dangerous’ person for India’s security

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of having ties with anti-India forces.

In an interview with the ANI news agency, Rijiju alleged that the Leader of the Opposition regularly met with Naxalites, extremists, ideologues, and individuals like George Soros, both during his foreign trips and within India.

"Rahul Gandhi has become one of the most dangerous individuals for India’s security. He associates with anti-India forces and meets with Naxalites, extremists, and people like George Soros, both abroad and at home," Rijiju said.

The minister also criticised Gandhi's behavior in Parliament, calling it "childish" and "irresponsible" for someone in his position. 

"The Leader of the Opposition represents the entire opposition. Going outside the House, calling people traitors, staging theatrical protests, and insisting on reading from an unpublished book—all of this is childish behavior. We have never seen such a LoP in India's history," Rijiju added.

In response to Gandhi's allegations regarding the Epstein files, Rijiju dismissed them as baseless. "First, consider why Rahul Gandhi’s followers don't take him seriously—he speaks without the truth. If the Prime Minister met someone or if documents exist, then present them. They are dragging the Prime Minister's name into this without any basis, which only leads to despair and disappointment," Rijiju said.

Rijiju's remarks came days after BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s motion in the Lok Sabha, seeking the termination of Gandhi's membership for allegedly misleading the nation with the support of figures like George Soros.
