Former J&K DGP SP Vaid unleashed a blistering attack on Rahul Gandhi, branding the Congress MP’s parliamentary antics as a grave insult to democratic institutions. From Jammu, Vaid recounted how Gandhi’s group turned the Lok Sabha stairs into a picnic spot, munching snacks and chanting amid stalled proceedings – a scene that compelled ex-officials from various services to demand an apology.
‘Despite Speaker Birla’s pleas for restraint, Rahul persists in immature behavior unfit for his stature,’ Vaid told media. He critiqued Gandhi’s speeches as scattered and ineffective, failing to address core issues or challenge the government meaningfully, often reducing to comic relief. ‘The LoP role is pivotal; tax-funded sessions waste away on such drama,’ he stressed, calling for focused debates on national priorities.
Shifting gears, Vaid hailed PM Modi’s deft handling of Middle East tensions, safely extracting Indian vessels when few others could. ‘Opposition must support, not amplify fears over global LPG shortages,’ he advised. Pakistan’s brutal airstrikes in Afghanistan drew his strongest ire: over 400 dead, 250 wounded under Munir’s command – an act India has rightfully condemned, standing solidary with Kabul.
Defending the RSS against Congress barbs, Vaid portrayed it as a patriot-building force uniting families and society, not the villain painted by rivals mimicking Pakistani propaganda. On Islamophobia, he backed India’s UN position critiquing Pakistan. Vaid’s remarks reflect a broader call for opposition responsibility, prioritizing national unity over partisan stunts in an era of international challenges.
