The Telangana state BJP chief accused the Congress party of being part of a foreign‑funded conspiracy to destabilise India, linking the claim to recent graffiti at Jamia Millia Islamia.
The chief of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Telangana publicly claimed that the Indian National Congress is involved in a foreign‑funded scheme aimed at destabilising the nation. The allegation was made in response to a recent incident of graffiti on the campus of Jamia Millia Islamia, which featured anti‑government slogans and images that have drawn widespread attention.
The graffiti, discovered earlier this week, depicted symbols and messages that critics say challenge the ruling party's policies. While the university has not confirmed who painted the artwork, the incident has become a flashpoint in the ongoing political rivalry between the BJP and Congress in several states.
During a press briefing, the Telangana BJP chief asserted that the graffiti is part of a coordinated effort financed from abroad to create unrest. He urged law‑enforcement agencies to investigate the source of funding and to hold accountable any political actors found to be involved.
The Congress party has not issued an official response to the accusation as of now. Political analysts note that such statements could intensify partisan tensions ahead of upcoming state elections, where both parties are vying for voter support.
The episode underscores the heightened sensitivity surrounding campus activism and the broader debate over foreign influence in Indian politics.
