Reportedly the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on friday condemned leader of Opposition in lok sabha rahul Gandhi’s alleged disparaging remarks on the cognitive abilities of united states (US) President Joe Biden, saying that such remarks are unfortunate and are not in keeping with government friendly ties with the US. MEA spokesperson Randhir jaiswal during the weekly briefing said, “You know, that india shares multifaceted partnership with the united states, and this partnership has been built over years of perseverance, togetherness, mutual respect and commitment by both sides.

Perhaps the congress leader made the headlines while addressing a poll rally in Maharashtra’s Amravati on november 16 while attacking PM Modi. He said that the latter was beginning to show signs of memory loss, drawing a comparison to Biden, who frequently makes headlines for his verbal gaffes and missteps. The Raebareli mp recalled an incident where Biden had mistakenly introduced ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Russian President Vladimir Putin at an event.
He added, “The former President of America used to forget; he had to be reminded from behind. The President of ukraine came, and the President of America said that Russian President Putin has come. He had lost his memory, similarly, our prime minister is losing his memory”. bjp had slammed the lok sabha LoP for his absurd remarks. bjp spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla had launched a scathing critique, calling gandhi “brother of enmity/hate for his personal attacks on PM Modi.
