🇺🇸 Deep State? On Whose Bidding Is Rahul Gandhi Undermining & Attacking India?

"US and Europe are not doing enough to restore the democracy in India" — Dear Reader, these were the words of Rahul Gandhi during his visit to UK in March 2023.

Every time since then and before, whenever Gandhi is abroad he ends up making such statements undermining India and its democracy.

You would also see him meet people with outright anti-India bias, be it those linked with George Soros' Open Society Foundations or Ilhan Omar, a US House of Representatives member whose pro-Pakistan, pro-Khalistan, and anti-India views are well known. These are just two examples out of several such characters.

At one point he even compared India to Europe and called it a federation based on negotiation—which it is not. This is in line with his flawed and frequent assertion that "India is not a nation".

Balkanisation? Secessionism?

He even insinuated, during his recent US visit, that Sikhs in India aren't allowed to wear a turban and 'kada' or go to a gurdwara. This was after he had already declared, on the aforementioned 2023 visit to UK, that Narendra Modi considered Sikhs as "second-class citizens".

Look at these things while keeping the context of the active protection and promotion of Khalistani extremists in North America by the US Deep State and Trudeau's administration beholden to the Khalistanis.

Such statements and actions do not excite the Indians abroad and definitely don't translate to votes here at home. On the contrary, it harms the prospects of his party.

So the questions one must ask is — Why does he do it? And on whose bidding? With whose support?

Deep State?

Well, here's our latest weekend magazine — Deep State, Shallow Attacks — detailing why the BJP has gone out all guns blazing at Rahul Gandhi's ties with the US Deep State.

Bear in mind that the development comes at a time when the incoming Trump administration in the US has also resolved to go after the 'Deep State' or as they say, "drain the swamp".

Is this the reason BJP has found itself in a sweet spot to go after the US Deep State? Something that it couldn't do with the Biden administration being in control.
