"Nixon made Indira Gandhi sit in his waiting room for 1 hour": Nishikant Dubey takes dig at nehru-gandhi foreign policy

New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) MP Nishikant Dubey on Friday took a sharp dig at the Congress party and its legacy, claiming that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was once made to wait for an hour by former US President Richard Nixon during her visit to Washington in 1971. In a post on X, Dubey said, 'Iron Lady Indira Ji, Jairam Ramesh Ji, for your information, in 1971 when Indira Gandhi Ji reached Washington to meet the US President Nixon, President Nixon made her sit in his waiting room for 1 hour.' He then urged the Congress party to reflect on its historical leadership, stating, 'Today, compare it with Modi Ji's foreign policy and think about the state of the Nehru Gandhi family's policy?' Earlier, on June 15, Dubey targeted Congress over their foreign policy in the past. Speaking about his X post against Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, he alleged that Congress fell into Pakistan's trap and believed that the Chief of Pakistan Army, Asim Munir, had been invited to the White House in the USA. Speaking to ANI, Nishikant Dubey said, 'The opposition, especially the Congress, has stopped reading and writing. For the last 2-3 days, the entire Congress party kept saying that Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir is going to the US. This was a trap by Pakistan. People across the country turned the opposition to Modi into opposition to the country. Today, it is known that the White House or the US military never called Asim Munir. What is the difference between the Pakistan Muslim League and Jairam Ramesh?' Referring to the Kanishka bombing incident, when Khalistani extremists bombed an Air India flight, he said, 'Big accident happened in Ahmedabad. Secondly, when the Kanishka bomb blast happened in 1985, when did Canada start its investigation? It started in 2006. Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's father was the Prime Minister of Canada from 1968 to 1984. Indira Gandhi wrote seven letters to him for 16 was not replying her letters, he was not listening to her and was giving shelter to Khalistani terrorists and you are teaching us foreign policy?'

Canadian intelligence agency confirms Khalistani extremists in Canada

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) has acknowledged the presence of Khalistani extremists operating from Canadian soil, stating they use the country 'as a base for promotion, fundraising, or planning of violence primarily in India.' The findings were detailed in the CSIS Public Report 2024 released on Wednesday, which also emphasized that only a small group of individuals are considered Khalistani extremists. The report was released shortly after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the sidelines of the G7 summit. The leaders agreed to work toward mending bilateral relations, which had deteriorated following the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in 2023 — a Canadian national designated a terrorist by India. Accusations by former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleging India's involvement had led to a major diplomatic standoff. Clarifying Canada's stance, the report noted that non-violent advocacy for an independent Khalistan is not treated as extremism under Canadian law. However, it flagged politically motivated violent extremism (PMVE) as a concern, particularly from Canada-based Khalistani extremists (CBKEs), a phenomenon present since the mid-1980s. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Brass Idols - Handmade Brass Statues for Home & Gifting Luxeartisanship Buy Now Undo Highlighting India's long-standing concerns, the report referenced New Delhi's view that Canada has historically been a safe haven for anti-India activities, especially in light of the 1985 Air India bombing and related terrorism in India. While no CBKE-related attacks occurred in Canada in 2024, the report noted that 'real and perceived Khalistani extremism emerging from Canada continues to drive Indian foreign interference activities in Canada.' The report also addressed the Canadian government's and RCMP's ongoing investigation into Nijjar's killing, stating that 'links between the Government of India and the Nijjar murder signal a significant escalation in India's repression efforts against the Khalistan movement.' Live Events Additionally, the report referred to the first phase of the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference (PIFI), which began in March 2024. It alleged that both Indian and Pakistani officials engaged in foreign interference, with Pakistan aiming to counter India's growing global influence. The report concluded by recommending sustained vigilance regarding India's 'continued foreign interference' in Canadian affairs.
