Center-Left Owned by The Printers (Mysore) Pvt. Ltd.Sonia Gandhi should remove 'Italian lenses' to see India's progress: BJP
What's behind this
BJP criticised Sonia Gandhi for her remarks defending the 1975 Emergency and questioning the Modi government, telling her to remove her “Italian lenses” to recognise India’s all‑round progress over the past 12 years. The party said she was “justifying” the Emergency, while Gandhi argued that democratic rights were curtailed but the measures were taken constitutionally and noted that Indira Gandhi later publicly expressed regret and apologized for the excesses. The exchange reflects a sharp political dispute between the BJP and the Congress leader.
