Several BJP leaders have attacked Rahul Gandhi following his meeting with US Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, accusing him of aligning with anti-India forces. BJP IT Cell chief Amit Malviya alleged that Gandhi’s remarks were supported by banned Khalistan groups. Other BJP leaders echoed these sentiments, criticizing his stance on reservations and national unity.

The Congress national president was campaigning for the Congress-NC alliance in Anantnag and made the comments at a rally there.

The complaint against the accused, PV Samuel, a 78-year-old man, arose from a video he posted online on June 1, 2020, wherein he allegedly claimed that nuns in the Christian faith were being forced to serve as concubines to priests and bishops
