The photo of the meeting between Rahul Gandhi and Donald Lu is not available.
US State Department spokesperson said on Wednesday that senior diplomat Donald Lu’s meeting with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was part of a normal diplomatic interaction.
According to news agency ANI, the spokesperson said that our policy has been to talk to the governments of partner countries as well as opposition leaders and people with social connections. He said that he cannot comment further on this private conversation.
Rahul met Lu on Monday. He is the Assistant Secretary of State for the South and Middle Asia Bureau of the US State Department. Lu is visiting India and Bangladesh this week. Donald Lu will first come to New Delhi. Here he will attend a business summit.
After this, Lu will participate in the eighth two plus two ministerial meeting between India and America. Then he will visit Bangladesh where he will meet the leaders of the interim government. He also visited Bangladesh in May this year.
Imran Khan had alleged that Donald Lu was involved in toppling his government.
Lu accused of coup in Pakistan-Bangladesh Donald Lu’s name is associated with coups in South Asian countries. His name also came up after the fall of Imran Khan’s government in Pakistan. Imran Khan openly named him and held him responsible.
Earlier this year, Lu testified in the US Parliament and denied the allegations of toppling the government in Pakistan. Last month, when Sheikh Hasina was removed from power in Bangladesh, Donald Lu’s name also came up. However, America flatly denied this.
Rahul met Pakistan supporter Ilhan Omar Earlier, Rahul Gandhi was on a 3-day visit to America. During this, he met Indian immigrants, students and American lawmakers. Rahul also met American MP Ilhan Omar. Ilhan Omar is known for her anti-India statements.
41-year-old Ilhan Omar is a Democratic Party MP from Minnesota. Ilhan Omar visited Pakistan in 2022. During this time she also visited Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
Omar also met former Pakistani Prime Ministers Shahbaz Sharif and Imran Khan. In June, Prime Minister Narendra Modi went on a state visit to the US. During this, he addressed a joint session of the US Parliament.
Ilhan Omar boycotted this session. She had accused PM Modi of discriminating against minorities under his regime.
Rahul Gandhi met US lawmakers. Ilhan Omar (in black dress) was also present.
Amit Shah said- Rahul is with anti-national forces Protests have started in the country over Rahul’s meeting with Ilhan. Many BJP leaders have criticized Rahul for meeting her. Home Minister Amit Shah said that speaking anti-national things and standing with forces that break the country has become a habit of Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party.
Be it supporting the anti-national and anti-reservation agenda in Jammu and Kashmir, or speaking anti-India things on foreign forums, Rahul has always hurt the security and sentiments of the country.
