‘Any Time, Any Place’: Rahul Challenges PM Modi to Debate Anti-National Charge
Rahul Gandhi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of calling critics anti-national and said CRPF jawans did not believe his claims.
- On Monday, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi renewed his debate challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Modi's 'Dimagi Naxal' remarks made to Central Reserve Police Force personnel in Bastar, Chhattisgarh, on Diwali.
- During a Sunday Diwali celebration, Modi warned against 'Dimagi Naxals'—ideological supporters of violence who infiltrated political parties to incite people against India's Constitution. He first coined the term during his Independence Day speech this year.
- Posting on Twitter, Gandhi claimed the security personnel 'didn't buy the Prime Minister's lies' and challenged Modi to debate who is controlled by foreign forces. He asserted Modi would not have the 'guts' to stand before a jawan again.

- The Opposition accuses the government of using 'Dimagi Naxal' to delegitimize democratic dissent, while Rijiju criticized Gandhi's challenge, claiming he is 'pushing agendas of India's enemies' rather than engaging in parliamentary discourse.
