With the tempers rising over the BJP MPs seeking an apology from Rahul Gandhi for allegedly insulting Indian democracy in the UK, the Congress on Friday doubled down after BJP chief JP Nadda called Rahul Gandhi ‘anti-national’. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said Rahul Gandhi is a true patriot who talks about democracy and shows concerns about it. “Anti-nationals are those who have zero contribution to the country’s freedom struggle,” Kharge tweeted. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor said Rahul Gandhi did not say anything in the UK for which he needs to apologise. “Democracy, in our country, is in danger and everyone should know about it. I didn’t hear anything wrong in it”, Shashi Tharoor said.
