‘Sonia Gandhi linked to George Soros-funded group supporting Kashmir independence’: BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday accused former Congress president Sonia Gandhi of having connections with an organisation funded by the George Soros Foundation, which has supported the idea of Kashmir as an independent nation.

The ruling party said in a series of posts on X that this association shows the influence of foreign entities in India’s internal affairs.

Despite the US dismissing BJP’s allegations of backing attempts to destabilise India, party MP Nishikant Dubey said he would ask 10 questions to Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha on the issue.

He claimed that the media portal Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and Hungarian-American businessman have joined forces with the opposition to damage India’s economy and tarnish the Modi government.

The BJP claimed that Sonia Gandhi, as co-president of the Forum of Democratic Leaders in Asia Pacific (FDL-AP) Foundation, is connected to an organisation funded by the George Soros Foundation.
