Paris: Former National President of Congress and Lok Sabha MP Rahul Gandhi is currently on a foreign tour, where he is participating in various programs. In this sequence, Rahul also gave a speech in front of students at a university in Paris on 8 September. But, during this time, a political uproar has started in India regarding the 'person' who was seen sitting with Rahul Gandhi. Actually, French writer and columnist Christophe Jaffrelot was sitting with Rahul Gandhi. The controversy is about the fact that Christophe Jaffrelot is known for spewing hatred against India and Hindus. Congress had posted the picture of Rahul's program on its official social media accounts.
Christophe Jaffrelot, seen with Rahul Gandhi, who has been accused of humiliating India from foreign soil, has been writing anti-India articles for a long time. Christophe has often been targeting the BJP-led Indian government and PM Narendra Modi. It was Christophe Jaffrelot who brought the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) to give shelter and Indian citizenship to the religiously oppressed minorities (Sikhs, Jains, Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Parsis, Jews) of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Was said to be against the secular spirit of India. Kristof even compared the CAA to Israel and its Jews, saying, 'This approach reflects the view of any country on ethnic and religious lines. Where apart from the majority population, everyone else is forced to live a second-class life. It's like Israel, where Jews are the majority.'
However, it is worth noting that Jaffrelot finds a lot of problem in the Indian law of giving citizenship to minorities (except Muslims), but in the 3 neighboring Islamic countries of India, minorities (Sikh, Jain, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian , Parsis, Jews) they shamelessly turn a blind eye to the miserable condition of the people. Christophe never seems to speak on the kidnapping of Hindu-Sikh girls in Pakistan, their rape, conversion, forced marriage, but when there is talk of giving shelter to those victims in India, then this French writer sees a threat to secularism. That is, if seen overall, Christophe Jaffrelot's attitude seems one-sided.
Not only this, Christophe Jaffrelot claims that Hindus lack self-esteem and calls the Muslim population explosion in India a 'false'. While if we look at the facts, the Muslim population in India is flourishing, and has reached around 30 crores till now, the minorities in the 3 neighboring countries are rapidly moving towards becoming 'zero'. Not only this, Christophe holds the British responsible for the partition of India, but forgets to mention the massacre of millions of Indians carried out by Islamic extremists and the Muslim League during their demand for Pakistan, such as the 'Direct Action Day' of Bengal
Not only this, Christophe, who was seen sitting with Rahul Gandhi, is not seen blaming or condemning the terrorists who have waged war against India and killed many innocent people. Rather, they say that BJP has benefited from all the terrorist attacks that have taken place in India from 1993 to 2008. Christophe says that BJP wins elections by doing politics of fear, that is, if there are bomb blasts, terrorist attacks in the country and someone raises the issue of keeping the public safe from them, then this is politics of fear in the eyes of the French writer. Jaffrelot's one-sided attitude is again exposed when he accuses 'Bajrang Dal' of violence, assaulting the Church and Muslims, but strongly condemns any counterattack by Hindus. But, from the other side, many daughters have become victims of Love Jihad by fundamentalists, attacks on processions are taking place every day, His astonishing silence on the ongoing conspiracies to make India an Islamic nation reflects his hypocrisy. Christophe believes that Christians and Muslims are treated with second class in India, and he is also a supporter of Article 370, which was canceled by the Modi government on 6 August 2019. These are the views of Rahul Gandhi too, or rather they come from here (people like Christophe). We have seen an example of this during Rahul's Britain-America tour, when he said in the language of Christophe that democracy has ended in India, minorities are being oppressed, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs are being treated as second class citizens. cracked up to be.

Dismantling Global Hindutva Initiative:-
Let us tell you that Christophe Jaffrelot was invited as a speaker in the 'Dismantling Global Hindutva Initiative' organized in the year 2021. The objective of this program was to fight against Hindutva and target Hinduism. Jaffrelot had made a scathing attack on Hindutva in his speeches in this program. It is not surprising that today in India, the way DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin is talking about destroying Sanatan Dharma completely and some Congress leaders are supporting it, it is the effect of Christophe Jaffrelot's thoughts. Well, Christophe Jaffrelot is a foreigner, he may have his own personal or political reasons for his hatred towards India and Hindus, but Rahul Gandhi, who claims to have opened a shop of love, is from India, belongs to a family which has served the country for decades. In such a situation, it is a bit sad to see Rahul sharing the stage with him. Also when Rahul, By speaking their own language, even if indirectly, they are giving strength to the foreign agenda being run against India. Because, Pakistan also beats the same drum in the world that Muslims are being tortured in India, Christophe is saying the same thing and Rahul is repeating it. However, the Indian government has been strongly denying such claims internationally.
