Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday strongly criticised Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his recent remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India's foreign policy, calling them "extremely low-level" and "condemnable". Singh said the comments had caused him "immense pain" and warned that such conduct was a serious concern for the health of India's democracy.
Recalling his long political career, Singh said he had never witnessed a LoP engage in such conduct, citing former leaders including Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and LK Advani, as well as Congress leaders such as Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi.
