Congress leader Pawan Khera criticized the BJP, accusing them of avoiding the discussion on Gautam Adani’s indictment. He firmly stated that the opposition will continue to raise the issue because they have nothing to hide. In contrast, he claimed the BJP has “everything to hide.”
Opposition Demands Debate on Adani Issue
On Monday, both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha were adjourned. The BJP intensified its attack on Congress over alleged links to George Soros. Meanwhile, the opposition accused the ruling party of hindering the functioning of the House. Congress members continued to demand a discussion on the Adani issue.
Khera Questions BJP’s Ties to Soros and Minister’s Son
Khera also raised concerns about the relationship between Union Minister S. Jaishankar’s son, Dhruv Jaishankar, and the Aspen Institute in Washington. Furthermore, he challenged the BJP to explain how the children of their leaders studying abroad secure scholarships. He also asked about the involvement of BJP leaders’ children in organizations funded by Soros.
In a video posted on Monday, Khera said, “Bharatiya Janata Party thinks that George Soros’s name can trap us. It is laughable. We want to tell them that we will keep raising the Gautam Adani (indictment) matter because we have nothing to hide. But you (BJP) have everything (to hide). If you want to make George Soros an issue, you should answer from where the children of BJP leaders and ministers who are studying abroad get their scholarships. You should also tell us how many children of BJP leaders are working in places funded by Soros. Tell us about the connection of Dhruv Jaishankar, son of S Jaishankar, with Aspen Institute. What is his relation with the German Marshall Fund? What is the relationship of George Soros with these two organisations? We will end this discussion that you have started.”
BJP’s Allegations Against Congress
Khera’s comments came after BJP leader Tarun Chugh’s allegations. Chugh claimed that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi were linked to the George Soros Foundation. He argued that Congress had become a tool for forces aiming to destabilize India. Additionally, he accused Sonia Gandhi of being connected to the Forum of the Democratic Leaders in Asia Pacific (FDL-AP), an organization funded by Soros. Chugh also stated that FDL-AP had expressed views suggesting that Kashmir should be treated as a separate entity.
Chugh, who is responsible for BJP activities in Jammu and Kashmir, promised to expose the Gandhi family’s “anti-national” ties. He further emphasized that no attempts to stop Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for India would succeed.
Thus, both parties remain engaged in a heated exchange, with Congress demanding answers on the Adani issue, while the BJP focuses on alleged foreign ties to discredit the opposition.
