“Feels at Home in Pakistan”: BJP Slams Congress Overseas Chief Sam Pitroda, Calls Statement ‘Insult to 140 Crore Indians’

New Delhi: BJP National Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari on Thursday launched a scathing attack on Congress Overseas Chief Sam Pitroda over his recent remark that he “felt at home” during his visit to Pakistan. The BJP accused Pitroda of undermining India’s sovereignty and disrespecting the nation’s armed forces.

Bhandari said, “Can a patriot ever say that terror state Pakistan is like a home to them? But a close aide of Rahul Gandhi, who decides the Gandhi family’s strategy and has a 30-year-long relationship with them, says that he feels at home in Pakistan. Congress leadership is making Sam Pitroda say this. This is an insult to our soldiers and 140 crore Indians. If this statement is not anti-national, then what is it?”

He further referenced the recent comments by former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi, who had called Rahul Gandhi his idol, highlighting a pattern, according to Bhandari. “ISI agent Shahid Afridi called Rahul Gandhi his idol a few days ago, and now Rahul’s close aide says Pakistan is like a home to him. Some time ago, Rahul Gandhi said that he wants to fight the Indian state. They call Pakistan their home and insult the sovereignty of India,” he added.
