In the midst of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, former Pakistani minister Fawad Chaudhry praised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi once more on Saturday. Chaudhry praised the latter, stating that Gandhi was carrying on the socialist reforms and wealth distribution of his great-grandfather, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India.
Addressing the Wayanad MP as “Rahul sahib”, the Pakistani leader emphasised the fair distribution of wealth, which, according to him, is the biggest challenge of capitalism in Pakistan and in India, according to Rahul Gandhi.
“Rahul Gandhi like his great Grandfather Jawaharlal has a socialist in him, problems of India and Pak are so same even after 75 years of partition, Rahul sahib in his last night speech said 30 or 50 families owns 70% of India wealth so is in Pakistan where only a business club called Pak Buisness Council and few real estate Seth’s own 75% of Pak wealth.. fair distribution of wealth is biggest challenge of capitalism,” he said in a post on X.
Meanwhile, BJP slammed the grand old party over Chaudhary’s praise, saying that Pakistani leaders want to make “Shehzada of Congress” India’s prime minister.
“…Former Pakistan Minister Fawad Chaudhry recently said what the Opposition (in India) says, i.e. BJP’s govt should not come to power in India, PM Modi should lose…I request all to go and see Fawad Chaudhry’s tweet and compare the language with what the Opposition (in India) says. Today, in a new tweet, he (Fawad Chaudhry) has expressed his love for the family (Gandhi family)…He has used the word ‘Rahul Sahab’…BJP MP and party’s spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi said.

Earlier this week, a political slugfest was triggered after former Pakistan minister praised the Wayanad MP for targeting the saffron camp over the Ram Mandir consecration ceremony.
The Pakistani leader posted a video of Gandhi discussing the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and inquiring as to whether any underprivileged people had been invited to the event. The Pakistani leader responded to criticism for backing Rahul Gandhi by saying, “Because I oppose extremists and hate mongers, be it in Pak or India or elsewhere.”
The Pakistani leader, according to the Congress, made the comment under duress so that the BJP could gain from it during the current Lok Sabha elections.
Party leader Rashid Alvi claimed that Chaudhry was pressured by the Shehbaz Sharif government, which has good ties with the prime minister. The statement praising the Congress leader was made so that PM Modi could exploit it and benefit in the ongoing polls, Alvi added.
“…The statement by Fawad Chaudhry is done under pressure by Nawaz Sharif and his brother’s government. PM Modi has very good relations with Nawaz Sharif. This statement has come so that our Prime Minister can exploit it. BJP has relations (with Pakistan). Manmohan Singh, Rahul Gandhi, or Sonia Gandhi never went to Pakistan…The people who want to take benefit from his (Fawad Chaudhry) statement have pressurized him…” he said to news agency ANI.
