The BJP on Wednesday slammed Rahul Gandhi over his meeting with US lawmaker Ilhan Omar and others during his visit to that country, alleging that the Congress leader is indulging in dangerous and mischievous activities by reaching out to people abroad who are known for their anti-India stand. 

 Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, party national spokesperson Sudhansu Trivedi said Gandhi earlier used to indulge in childish activities but now he is indulging in dangerous and mischievous activities.

 "It is for the first time in the history of India that a Leader of Opposition has met a declared anti-India lawmaker and expressed his sweet feelings. He has met US lawmaker Ilhan Omar, who is infamous for her anti-India stand and statements, he added. 

 Referring to Gandhi's remarks on the Sikh community, Trivedi alleged he has drawn support from Khalistani separatist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. With this, Gandhi has further added a new friend in his list of anti-India friends, the BJP leader charged.

   At the press conference, Trivedi also showed a picture of Gandhi with journalist Mushfiqul Fazal as he hit out the Congress leader accusing him of meeting people who are known for their anti-India stand. In a post on X, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey said, "The woman in the red circle is Ilhan Omar, the leader of the Democratic Party in America. She has consistently supported the creation of a separate country of Khalistan and Kashmir.

 Currently, Rahul Gandhi is gathering support for this agenda in America, he added. Gandhi is on a four-day visit to the United States. His first stop was in Dallas, which began on Saturday.
