Sam Pitroda, with links to the US Deep State, says “we don’t care” when asked about Rahul Gandhi meeting Soros-like agents abroad: Here is what happened

“Hua to hua” (what happened, happened) fame Satyanarayan Gangaram Pitroda, alias Sam Pitroda, is the overseas chief of the Indian National Congress and is a close associate of Rahul Gandhi.

“Hua to hua” (what happened, happened) fame Satyanarayan Gangaram Pitroda, alias Sam Pitroda, is the overseas chief of the Indian National Congress and is a close associate of Rahul Gandhi.

Sam Pitroda justifies the timing of the visit related to the “Progressive Alliance”

The winter session of the Parliament was in progress during Rahul Gandhi’s arrival in Germany. However, Pitroda defended the same by mentioning that crucial events occur frequently in a massive country like India, and such meetings are arranged months in advance.

Rahul Gandhi’s anti-India diatribe in Germany

Rahul Gandhi’s 5-day visit to Germany, like all his foreign trips, was characterised by the dissemination of falsehoods, fearmongering about purported civil war, undermining Indian institutions and defaming the country’s democracy.

Speaking at the German Hertie School, he once more complained that the Maharashtra Assembly elections were “not fair.” He likewise added that the 2024 Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha elections were rigged and the Congress had truly won the Haryana Assembly elections. These allegations, although repeatedly disproven and shown to be lies, were put forward as extensive proof of a “full-scale assault on India’s institutional framework.”

Gandhi also voiced his frustration about the actions taken by national agencies like the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation against the corrupt leaders of his party and alleged that the saffron party has been bolstering its political power by utilising state institutions.

The Lok Sabha MP insisted that India’s democratic system was under assault, and he is going to fight against it as well as develop a robust and coordinated opposition to the seizure of important institutions. Overall, it was the same worn-out script, read in a different country, contending that all Indian institutions have been appropriated by the BJP only because the people refuse to support his party.

The BJP retaliated against Rahul Gandhi for his comments as Union Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje retorted, “What does he aim to gain by doing this? He still behaves like a child, not a leader,” while referring to him as the “Leader of Propaganda.”

Sam Pitroda bats for George Soros

In January, Pitroda stood up for Hungarian-American billionaire and regime-change proponent George Soros, portraying him as an ordinary businessman interested in making donations to Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in India, rather than as a vehement anti-India figure who has openly expressed his disdain for the country and Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as attempted to remove him from office in favour of his preferred government.

“In India, if you want to send donation from America to any NGO, it is a major task. I don’t know why it is that complicated. But it is. Because everybody is afraid. Look at the kind of attacks you have on Soros. It doesn’t make sense to me. He is doing his stuff, you do your stuff. You cannot agree with him, and that’s okay. But you can’t say he is interfering in India and doing this and doing that. But that’s how our discourse is,” the overseas Congress supremo stated.

Sam Pitroda and his association with nefarious anti-India factions

Sam Pitroda was an advisor to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and is a well-known Gandhi family loyalist. He was even given the position of Cabinet Minister in October 2009 to advise Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Public Information Infrastructure and Innovations. Interestingly, Pitroda created the United States-based non-governmental organisation Global Knowledge Initiative (GKI) during the same time. Furthermore, Nina V. Fedoroff and Sara Farley, two of its co-founders, have significant ties to the Rockefeller Foundation and the US government.

Fedoroff is a former Science and Technology Advisor to the US Secretary of State. She has advocated for her country’s agricultural interests in India and is a fervent supporter of genetically modified crops. Farley, the Rockefeller Foundation’s Vice President of the Food Initiative, has worked with the notorious and now dismantled United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as well as other US government groups to gain funds for GKI. The US Department of State, USAID, the Rockefeller Foundation, along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, are among its donors, raising concerns about their possible impact on the operations of Pitroda’s foundation.

Conclusion

Given the history of Sam Pitroda, the denigration of India and its institutions on global platforms by Rahul Gandhi, along with the connections to George Soros, it is truly not surprising that they are unconcerned about foreign meddling in India’s democratic and internal affairs, as they anticipate benefiting from it after being regularly turned down by the nation’s voters.
