Sonia linked to organisation financed by George Soros Foundation: BJP

PTI New Delhi: The BJP on Sunday alleged that former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has links to an organisation financed by the George Soros Foundation and which has backed the idea of Kashmir as an independent nation. This association shows the influence of foreign entities in India’s internal affairs, the ruling party said in a series of posts on X. Meanwhile, notwithstanding the US’ dismissal of BJP’s allegations that it is backing attempts to destabilise India, party MP Nishikant Dubey said he would pose 10 questions to Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha on the issue.

He said media portal Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and Hungarian- American businessman have colluded with the opposition to ruin India’s economy and defame the Modi government. The BJP claimed that Sonia Gandhi, as the copresident of the Forum of the Democratic Leaders in Asia Pacific (FDL-AP) Foundation, is linked to an organisation financed by the George Soros Foundation. “Notably, the FDL-AP Foundation has expressed their views that treat Kashmir as a separate entity,” the party said. “This association between Sonia Gandhi and an organisation that has backed the idea of Kashmir as an independent nation expresses the inluence of foreign entities on India’s internal affairs and the political impact of such connections,” it said.
