Rahul Gandhi Challenges PM Modi to Open Debate on Foreign Influence Allegations
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has renewed his challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an open debate on allegations of foreign support influencing Modi's rise and tenure. Gandhi proposed discussing topics including the US trade deal, the Adani case, and Epstein controversy, suggesting RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat as a possible judge. Modi and BJP leaders, including Kiren Rijiju, have rejected the claims, accusing Gandhi of pushing anti-national agendas and ridiculing his debate challenge. The political exchange reflects ongoing tensions over accusations of foreign interference and national loyalty.
