NEW DELHI: Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Sunday slammed the BJP after the US rejected the ruling party’s allegations that elements in the American “deep state” were behind attempts to destabilise India and said this “attack-dog” behaviour is an embarrassment to India.
The US on Saturday rejected the BJP’s allegations that organisations funded by the US State Department and elements in the American “deep state” were behind attempts to destabilise India through targeted attacks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and business tycoon Gautam Adani.
A spokesperson at the US embassy described the allegations as “disappointing” and asserted that the US government has been a champion of media freedom around the world.
