"Everyone talked of India, people at home should not indulge in dirty politics": BJP's Aparajita Sarangi
New Delhi [India], June 4 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and all-party delegation member Aparajita Sarangi on Wednesday said that members from different political parties 'talked of India' during the global outreach campaign against terrorism. The BJP MP asked to refrain from 'dirty' politics, especially when members belonging to different political parties echoed the same voice on foreign soil. 'We need to denounce the statements of the Opposition parties in India. We must realise that 59 persons in 7 delegations had gone to 33 countries, and we were multi-party delegations. All five nations we visited appreciated and acknowledged that PM Modi's government had not sent a BJP or NDA team but a multiparty delegation,' the Bhubaneswar MP told ANI. 'These people must realise that out of the total 59 persons in these delegations, 51 people were MPs belonging to different political parties. So when we all spoke the same language on foreign soil, then why should these people indulge in dirty politics back home?' Sarangi, who is a member of the all-party delegation led by JD (U)'s Sanjay Jha, said. She said that all the party delegation members deserve appreciation, 'Their members have spoken the language of Bharat there. With all of us, I think the members of the delegations must appreciate those who belong to different parties. They talked of India, and these people at home should not indulge in dirty politics.' The all-party delegation of which Sarangi was a part had visited Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. It included BJP MPs Brij Lal, Pradan Baruah, Hemang Joshi, Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee, and CPI-M's John Brittas and Mohan Kumar. Earlier, Former External Affairs Minister and Congress leader Salman Khurshid, who is a member of the party delegation led by Sanjay Jha, had stressed while reacting to his post on X in which he hit out at those 'calculating political allegiances' amid the ongoing global outreach programme initiated by the Indian government to expose Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Referring to those posting on X (formerly Twitter), raising objections regarding Khurshid being part of the multi-party delegation with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, he argued that it was not 'very encouraging' to say such things when one was serving the nation. 'People keep saying, 'What are you doing in a delegation where there are people from the BJP? What are you doing there?' What are we doing here? What we are doing here is what is needed for the country. No matter which party you are from, today, what is needed is a single voice to speak in favour of the nation, and that is what we are doing here. I think when I say, 'Is it so difficult to be a patriot?' - that is the question that has to be asked of those who are putting out tweets and saying things that I think I believe are not very encouraging when you want to do something for the nation,' Khurshid told ANI. He further stated that his visit with the multi-party delegation, led by Janata Dal (United) Sanjay Kumar Jha, to highlight India's zero-tolerance policy against terrorism, was not to oppose the government of India but to speak for India. 'Have I come here to oppose the Government of India? If I wanted to do that, I would stay at home,' Khurshid said, adding, 'People are saying he (Salman Khurshid) is supporting so-and-so, and he is not supporting so-and-so; they are supporting the government, etc.... I have come here to speak for India. Whoever speaks for India, in whichever way they speak for India, whatever is said for India, we are here to support. It is only a short period of 10-12 days. You have to go back home and do what you are required to do at home. But here for India first, India and only India.' (ANI)
