Over a question on Rahul Gandhi's US visit where he criticized the ruling BJP and PM Modi, the Defense Minister said that “tarnishing the country's image on the international stage is very unfortunate”. “But, no one can deny the fact that India's prestige has increased at the international level,” he said. “India's stature has increased at the international level.
“Earlier people did not take India as seriously as they do now. Today, if India speaks on the international stage, the whole world listens with open ears. Rahul Gandhi goes abroad and puts question marks on the healthy democratic system here, while India's healthy democratic system is discussed in all the countries of the world,” he said.
