Congress leader and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Monday renewed his challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for an open debate on who is anti-national and controlled by foreign forces. Reacting to Modi's recent remarks on ‘Dimagi Naxals’, Gandhi accused the Prime Minister of branding political opponents as Naxals. In a post on X addressed to CRPF personnel, Gandhi said, “My challenge stands. Let him debate me on who is anti-national and who is controlled by foreign forces. Any time, any place.” Modi had made the remarks while celebrating Diwali with security personnel in Chhattisgarh's Bastar. (PC: HT)
