BJP says billionaire investor George Soros not only attacked PM Modi but also targeted the Indian democratic system.
Referring to George Soros, BJP MP Smriti Irani says that the man who broke the bank of England and is recognised by the nation as an economic war criminal has now expressed his desire to break Indian democracy.
“George Soros, an international entrepreneur, has declared his ill intention to intervene in the democratic processes of India.
“Today, as a citizen I call upon every Indian and organisation, societal or political, to denounce the intention of this individual who seeks to demonise our democracy and who brings an onslaught to the economy of India so that he can personally gain.
The BJP’s attack on Soros comes after Soros stated that the turmoil engulfing Gautam Adanis’ business empire, which has sparked a punishing stock market selloff and shaken faith in India as an investment opportunity, may open the door to the country’s democratic revival.
“Modi is silent on the subject, but he will have to answer questions from foreign investors and in parliament,” Soros said in a speech ahead of the Munich Security Conference. “This will significantly weaken Modi’s stranglehold on India’s federal government and open the door to push for much-needed institutional reforms. I may be naive, but I expect a democratic revival in India.”
Irani added, “Those who Mr Soros finds pliable need to know India has defeated imperialistic design before and shall do so again. Democracy has prevailed in India and will continue to do so. Designs to weaken Indian democracy will be met with the might of India under leadership of PM Modi.”
