Union Minister Kiren Rijiju advises Rahul Gandhi to “refrain from making frequent, discreet trips abroad”; Congress reacts with indignation.

The political turmoil in the country shows no signs of subsiding. Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju has offered seven pieces of advice to the Leader of the Opposition, Rahul Gandhi—one of which is that he should avoid making frequent, quiet trips abroad. This remark by Rijiju has angered Congress leaders, who have retorted that he ought to offer such advice to his own party’s leadership instead.
