Amit Shah Criticizes Rahul Gandhi Over International Defamation Claims

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of defaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India and the Constitution on international platforms for political gains. "If he aspires to return to power, he should stop travelling abroad and start visiting villages across India. Then, perhaps, he may have a chance," Shah said. Speaking in Pune after laying the foundation stone for the National Heavy Engineering Cooperative (NHEC) revival initiative, Shah said criticising Modi and India at international forums would not help the Congress return to power. Shah is on a two-day visit to Pune, during which he will attend the Bhoomi Pujan ceremony for the NHEC Multi-State Cooperative Society, virtually inaugurate the regional office of the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies and launch Bharat Taxi in Talegaon Dabhade. He will also unveil a statue of late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Referring to the two-day Bharat Summit held in Hyderabad, Shah alleged that people subscribing to leftist ideologies from across the world had been invited to criticise Modi and India.
