Chennai, February 12 Senior BJP leader Vanathi Srinivasan on Thursday urged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to avoid politicizing the issue of national security and instead focus on constructive politics.
Strongly objecting to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for causing chaos in the Lok Sabha, allegedly over a memoir of a former Army chief, she said that the Congress leader was deliberately playing politics with the country's security.
"Rahul Gandhi, rejected by the people, is creating anarchy in the Lok Sabha. When there are a thousand things to do in politics, he is needlessly politicising the country's security. This will make him forfeit even the position as Leader of the Opposition," the Coimbatore South MLA said in a post on 'X.'
Stating that the people of India have rejected the Congress for the third time in a row, Srinivasan, who is also the president of BJP Mahila Morcha, said that the grand old party created an impression that it was still in power.
Following its defeat in Haryana, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, and Bihar assembly elections in the last two years, the Congress party has come to the conclusion that it can no longer win elections. "That is why it is engaging in anarchy in the current session of Parliament," she said.
Rahul Gandhi's contention that the country's security should be discussed with regard to an unpublished book was unacceptable.
"There are a thousand things to do in politics, but not on national security. Instead, Rahul Gandhi should engage in constructive politics," she said.
