Speaking to a news agency in New Delhi, Rijiju said, “This link between George Soros and Congress leadership is not an allegation made by the BJP. It is a report in the public domain and everybody is aware of that…The matter is serious. It’s not a matter concerning the BJP only. It is a matter concerning the entire nation.”

“When it comes to national interests, we all have to stand together and be united. George Soros has openly declared war against India and the Indian government. He wants to destroy the Indian economy. It is a matter of grave concern for every citizen of India,” he added.
His remarks came days after the BJP claimed that the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, was raising the issue of Gautam Adani and targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi on directions from George Soros, who wants to destroy the country’s economy.
The ruling party accused Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi of having links to a Soros-funded organisation that once advocated for the independence of Kashmir.
Demanding Mr Adani’s arrest and a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) probe into the allegations against him, the Congress leader has also accused Prime Minister Modi of shielding the Gujarat-based industrialist.
