PremiumUnion Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi for criticizing the Centre abroad, stating that it is not a suitable activity for any party leader. Referring to PM Narendra Modi, Shah also advised Gandhi to learn from his ancestors and refrain from slandering India during his recent visit to the USA.
"Any patriotic person should discuss Indian politics within India. It does not suit the leader of any party to go abroad and discuss the country's politics and condemn the country. Remember this Rahul baba, people of the country are watching it closely," Shah said.
He was addressing a rally at Siddhpur town in Patan district of Gujarat organised to mark nine years of the Modi government.
