Congress wants India to blindly side with Iran, even China distancing itself from Tehran: BJP

BJP leaders, including Amit Malviya and Pradeep Bhandari, criticized the Congress for its stance on the Iran-Israel war, accusing them of pursuing divisive politics and prioritizing their vote bank over national interest. The BJP argued that the Congress should not be involved in commenting on a conflict where India is not directly involved, citing examples like the silence during the Naxal issue under the previous Congress government. The BJP also accused the Congress of being "weak" and prioritizing damage control over addressing internal security threats.
