'Our Prime Minister compromised, sold our nation': Rahul Gandhi outside Parliament after LS snub

Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been “compromised”, adding that he has “sold out” the “sweat and blood” of the country’s farmers by buckling under pressure from the United States to finalise a trade deal.

Gandhi made the comments while speaking with reporters outside Parliament after he was prevented from quoting excerpts in the Lok Sabha of an unpublished memoir of former Indian Army chief Manoj Mukund Naravane about the political decision-making during the 2020 border tensions between India and China.

He had been mentioning the excerpt during the debate on the Motion of Thanks to the president’s address.
