NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party and Congress crossed swords on Saturday, with AAP questioning the silence of Rahul Gandhi over the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk under the stringent NSA and Congress hitting back by saying AAP was on the verge of collapse.In a post on X, AAP said, “India’s renowned social worker and scientist Sonam Wangchuk has been imprisoned by Modi’s dictatorial govt on a false charge of sedition, and the country’s so-called opposition leader has maintained silence on the issue.”The Arvind Kejriwal-headed party further said, “Rahul Gandhi, who asks how many of our aircraft were lost in Operation Sindoor, why is he silent on Sonam Wangchuk now? Is Rahul Gandhi a BJP agent.” Hitting back, Congress social media head Supriya Shrinate said in a post on X, “Arvind Kejriwal ji, your party is on the verge of collapse. Do you know why? Because the foundation of your party was laid by the RSS from behind the scenes. You managed to seize power by levelling fabricated accusations against the Congress, but the very entity that created you has now swallowed you up.” Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday condemned Centre’s “pathetic handling” of the situation and arrest of Wangchuk. He demanded immediate restoration of institutions and democracy in Ladakh, and a judicial inquiry into police firing killing four youths earlier this week.
