Govt tells visiting dignitaries not to meet LoP; it's their insecurity: Rahul ahead of Putin's visit

NEW DELHI: (Dec 4) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday alleged that the government tells visiting foreign dignitaries not to meet the Leader of the Opposition due to its "insecurity".

Gandhi's remarks came hours ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin's two-day visit to India.

The Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha said it is a tradition that visiting foreign dignitaries meet the LoP but Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Ministry of External Affairs were not following this norm.
