Tue Dec 10 01:56:42 UTC 2024: ## BJP Accuses Sonia Gandhi of Accepting Soros Funding
**New Delhi:** The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has leveled serious allegations against former Congress President Sonia Gandhi, claiming her association with an organization receiving funding from the George Soros Foundation. BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi held a press conference, highlighting that the organization, “Forum for Democratic Leaders in Asia Pacific,” lists Sonia Gandhi as a co-chair. Trivedi emphasized Soros’s public declaration of investing $1 billion to destabilize the Modi government, raising concerns about the funding’s purpose.
Trivedi called for a parliamentary discussion on the matter, particularly noting the timing coinciding with Sonia Gandhi’s birthday. He criticized the opposition’s reluctance to address the issue, accusing them of attempting to conceal their actions. The BJP demanded a clear response from the Congress party regarding its relationship with the forum and its allegedly anti-India and pro-Pakistan statements. The party questioned whether the Congress has ties to those they consider “traitors” like George Soros. The BJP’s statement underscored the alleged funding’s potential impact on Indian democracy. The opposition has yet to respond to these accusations. The news comes amidst other significant events, including a separate report on a major bust of counterfeit dairy products in the Delhi-NCR region.
