ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ ITDC NEWS : The BJP on Thursday accused the Congress of inviting foreign interference into India's internal matters after senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh thanked Germany for taking note of Rahul Gandhi's conviction and disqualification from parliament. The BJP asserted that India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership will not tolerate any foreign intervention.

At a press briefing on Wednesday, Germany's foreign ministry spokesperson had said, "We have taken note of the verdict of first instance against Indian opposition politician Rahul Gandhi as well as the suspension of his parliamentary mandate."

Germany expects that "standards of judicial independence and fundamental democratic principles" will equally apply to the proceedings against Rahul Gandhi, he had said.

Congress leader Digvijay Singh took to Twitter to thank the German foreign ministry and Richard Walker, Chief International Editor of Deutsche Welle, for "taking note of how Democracy is being compromised in India through the persecution of Rahul Gandhi".

Singh's tweet elicited sharp reaction from the BJP with several party leaders, including Union ministers, termed him and the Congress a “disgrace to nation”.

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju said, "Thank you Rahul Gandhi for inviting foreign powers for interference into India's internal matters." He asserted that India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership will not tolerate any foreign intervention.

Information and Broadcasting minister Anurag Thakur said, "disgrace to nation, @INCIndia & @RahulGandhi don't believe to fight India's democratic, political and legal battle within country, hence, invite foreign powers to interfere in our internal matter. But New India headed by @narendramodi Ji will not tolerate any foreign intervention."
