Foreign meddling accusations

In New Delhi Thursday, the BJP accused Congress of orchestrating anarchy and regime-change plot linking protests to French riots.
The BJP called the scheme a “red-green” ecosystem, citing Fox News report of 101 organisations in nine countries and labeling Rahul Gandhi a “gaddar”.
