“Child of foreigner can’t be patriot”: BJP senior leader

NEW DELHI: BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya in a near-abusive remark has attacked Congress president Rahul Gandhi and insulted Sonia Gandhi saying “a foreign woman’s offspring can never think of national interest”.

The party leader in a cryptic tweet which has since been taken down said, “A child born from a foreign woman can never be patriotic, nor have national interests at heart,” hashtagged #SaturdayMotivation.

Sonia Gandhi had been taunted for her Italian origins but she has long proclaimed India as her “true country”.
