Even Saddam-Gaddafi used to hold elections .. In targeting PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi questioned the democracy of the country!

- Rahul Gandhi may be embroiled in Saddam's relationship with Indira-Rajiv Gandhi

New delhi date. Wednesday, March 17, 2021

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has become increasingly aggressive in attacking the central government, the BJP and the RSS. Now he has made a statement about the central government as well as Indian democracy so that a huge controversy can arise. He compared Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi and called India Iraq-Libya.

Called India Iraq-Libya

What Rahul Gandhi said in an interview means that Saddam Hussein in Iraq and Gaddafi in Libya were also holding elections, it does not mean that there was democracy. Rahul said, "Elections are not just about people going and pressing the button of the voting machine. What is being told, whether all the systems of governance of the country are working equally, whether the judiciary is impartial and what is the issue in Parliament It's happening, the election has to do with all of this. "

There is no democracy left in India: Rahul

Rahul Gandhi further said, "Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi also used to hold elections. At that time people were voting but in fact they were not voting because there was no body working to protect their interests. I think India We have to find out that it is not going far below this line, is it? "

Rahul may be surrounded

In fact, the Rahul Gandhi referred to as Saddam Hussein had a better relationship with India and especially with the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. It is said that when Indira Gandhi visited Iraq in 1975, her host Saddam Hussein picked up her suitcase. It is said that when Indira lost the Lok Sabha elections in Rae Bareli, Saddam offered her permanent residency in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Representatives of the Saddam-led Bath Socialist Party also attended the National Convention of the Congress.

Friendship of Indira, Rajiv and Congress with Saddam

According to Romesh Bhandari, who was India's ambassador to Baghdad during the Indira and Rajiv Gandhi regimes and later the country's foreign secretary, Saddam Hussein was a big fan of Indira Gandhi and India. Later, when Rajiv Gandhi became the Prime Minister of the country, he also became a friend of Saddam. During the Gulf War, he sent Romesh Bhandari to Iraq to send a message to Saddam Hussein.

Good relations between India and Saddam

In terms of India-Iraq relations, Iraq was one of the first countries to recognize India's independence. India also immediately recognized Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath party government. Even during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965, Iraq did not side with the Islamic State of Pakistan. However, during the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971, he took the side of Pakistan. India trained Iraqi airmen in the 1980s.

Awaiting BJP's response

The BJP can retaliate by giving Rahul Gandhi the charge of Saddam's friendship with Indira and Rajiv Gandhi. However, the question is, will Rahul Gandhi be able to deny those facts? Even so, the BJP has repeatedly said that Rahul Gandhi lacks facts. They don’t know what the fact is before they speak.

The Congress has called Modi Hitler

Rahul Gandhi has given this statement in response to the fact that some foreign institutions have downgraded India from the point of view of a democratic country. However, Rahul Gandhi has long lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, his party BJP and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, accusing them of undermining the country's democracy. Rahul and other Congress leaders have previously compared Prime Minister Modi to a Hitler-like personality. Naturally, the BJP may react more harshly to Rahul's latest statement.
