Following Rahul Gandhi's speech at Cambridge University, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Thursday took a potshot at Congress MP terming him the "self-declared prince of Congress".
Taking to Twitter, Rijiju wrote, "This self declared Congress Prince has crossed all the limits. This man has become extremely dangerous for India's unity. Now he's provoking people to divide India. India's most popular & loved Hon Prime Minister @Narendramodi Ji's only mantra is 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'."
Terming Gandhi's statements as 'anti-India', in a subsequent tweet, he wrote, "People of India know Rahul Gandhi is Pappu but foreigners don't know that he is actually Pappu. And it's not necessary to react to his Foolish Statements but the problem is that his Anti-India statements are misused by the Anti-India Forces to tarnish the image of India."
Sharing the video of Rahul Gandhi's speech at Cambridge University where the Congress leader criticised PM Modi for destroying the architecture of India, he further said, "There should be a limit to Re-launch the same product. Being relaunched in London, and marketing is actively following by the same gang in India !"
Gandhi was on a UK tour and during his interaction at Cambridge University, he was asked several questions about the Modi government and his opinions on several of India's current policies. To one such question, he responded, "Because in my view Narendra Modi is destroying the architecture of India. So, I am not bothered about two or three good policies that he is doing if he is blowing my country to smithereens or our country to smithereens..."
In another statement, he said, "I have got a Sikh gentleman sitting here. He is from the Sikh religion. We have got Muslims in India, Christians in India, different languages in India …They are all India. Mr Narendra Modi says he is not. Mr Narendra Modi says he is a second-class citizen in India. I don’t agree with him."
Gandhi was earlier accused by the BJP of insulting India's democracy from a foreign land.
