Rahul's remarks on foreign leaders 'not true'
The Morning Standard
|December 05, 2025
LEADER of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged that the government tells visiting foreign dignitaries not to meet the Leader of the Opposition due to its "insecurity".
The remarks came hours before Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Delhi. Putin is on a two-day visit to India. Gandhi said it is a tradition that visiting foreign dignitaries meet the LoP, but Prime Minister Modi and the Ministry of External Affairs were not following this norm.
"This used to happen during Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji's time and Manmohan Singh ji's time; it has been a tradition, but what happens these days is that when foreign dignitaries come and when I go abroad, the government suggests to them to not meet the LoP," Gandhi said.
