Bharatiya Janata Party and Janata Dal leaders criticized Rahul Gandhi on Friday after the Lok Sabha opposition leader stated democracy faced threats in India while visiting Colombia. BJP spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain accused Gandhi of damaging the nation's reputation abroad and said political disagreements should remain domestic. Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi claimed Congress believes party weakness equals national decline and said the organization has abandoned its historical standing.
JD spokesperson Neeraj Kumar questioned Gandhi's assertions about democratic dangers and suggested the politician's own relevance faces greater risk than institutional stability. Uttar Pradesh minister Anil Rajbhar condemned Gandhi's pattern of questioning government institutions and military forces when traveling internationally. Gandhi spoke at EIA University in Colombia on Thursday and acknowledged India's strengths in engineering and healthcare while identifying structural problems requiring correction.
