"India Is Isolated Outside, Fighting Inside": Rahul Gandhi To Centre

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, in a fiery speech in parliament today, targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying the "idea of a king is back", and accused the BJP of weakening India. "Ask yourself why you are not able to get a guest on Republic Day. We are completely isolated and surrounded... You have brought Pakistan and China together and this is the single biggest crime you could have committed against the people of India," he said. "The nation is at risk from outside, the nation is at risk from inside. That is a very dangerous place and I am very uncomfortable with my nation standing where it is standing - completely isolated on the outside, fighting on the inside, institutions captured, states not able to speak to each other. This worries me."
