Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the purchase of Rafale warplanes got him an invite to the Bastille Day parade in France.
The Rahul Gandhi said that the EU discussed the Manipur issue which is an internal matter of India.
“Manipur burns. EU Parliament discusses India’s internal matter. PM hasn’t said a word on either!”, Gandhi said.
“Meanwhile, Rafale gets him a ticket to the Bastille Day Parade”, Gandhi added.

Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi, BJP leader Smriti Irani tweeted, “A man who seeks international intervention in India’s internal matters, a frustrated dynast who sullies the ‘Make in India’ ambition mocks India when our PM receives a National honour. Rejected by people, he seethes as defence contracts no longer land at the doorstep of the dynasty.”
