NEW DELHI: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Friday launched a sharp attack on the Congress party’s foreign policy legacy, using a mix of historical anecdotes and recent controversies to question the credibility of the Nehru-Gandhi leadership in global diplomacy.In a post on X, Dubey recalled an incident from 1971, claiming former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was kept waiting for an hour by US President Richard Nixon during her visit to Washington.“Iron Lady Indira Ji, Jairam Ramesh Ji, for your information, in 1971 when Indira Gandhi Ji reached Washington to meet the US President Nixon, President Nixon made her sit in his waiting room for 1 hour,” he wrote.He urged the Congress to reflect on this and compare it with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s global stature today.“Think about the state of the Nehru Gandhi family’s policy?”Dubey’s comments came days after he criticised Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her party for allegedly falling for a misinformation campaign involving Pakistan’s army chief general Asim Munir.“The opposition, especially the Congress, has stopped reading and writing. For the last 2-3 days, the entire Congress party kept saying that Pakistan’s army chief general Asim Munir is going to the US. This was a trap by Pakistan,” Dubey told ANI.“People across the country turned the opposition to Modi into opposition to the country. Today, it is known that the White House or the US military never called Asim Munir. What is the difference between the Pakistan Muslim League and Jairam Ramesh?”Taking a deeper historical swipe, Dubey cited the 1985 Kanishka bombing by Khalistani extremists, alleging Canada’s inaction at the time was symptomatic of how Indira Gandhi’s diplomatic efforts were often ignored.“When the Kanishka bomb blast happened in 1985, Canada began its investigation only in 2006. Former Canadian PM Pierre Trudeau, who was in power from 1968 to 1984, received seven letters from Indira Gandhi over 16 years, asking him to act against Khalistani terrorists,” Dubey said.“He never responded. He never listened. And now Congress wants to teach us foreign policy?”The Congress party has not yet responded to Dubey’s latest statements.
