BJP intensifies attack over Cong links to Soros, Oppn hits back

Thus, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday upped the ante in its allegations of links between the Congress and the "anti-India" George Soros Foundation, the Congress-led Opposition continued its ongoing tirade against the Adani Group, triggering fresh disruptions that put a question mark on the remaining two weeks of the winter session.

Demanding a debate on the "issue of national security" in Parliament, BJP leaders raised allegations linked to US billionaire George Soros in both Houses, leading to a logjam that resulted in adjournments.

The BJP accused former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi of working with the United States' "deep state", a charge that was refuted by the US government and threatens to escalate into a diplomatic row.
