BJP Targets Congress Over Fox News Report Linking Global Protests

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a strong attack on the Congress on Thursday, citing a Fox News Digital investigation that allegedly identified links between unrest in France and youth-led protests in India and other countries, including demonstrations against the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC). According to the report as described by the BJP, 101 organisations from 13 countries were allegedly involved in coordinating, organising or escalating protests. The BJP claimed that the findings exposed what it described as the Congress party’s alleged “anarchy” and a conspiracy to change elected governments.

BJP spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia accused Rahul Gandhi of encouraging disorder and questioned whether foreign organisations were connected to the alleged activities. He also referred to what he described as a “red-green protest network,” claiming that it involved communist and Islamist groups. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari also posted on X, alleging that a global investigation had exposed a conspiracy involving the Congress. These statements represent the BJP’s allegations and interpretation of the report; the claims have not been independently established in the supplied material. The Congress had not issued an immediate response, and no conclusion about the party’s involvement can be drawn from the allegations alone.
