Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Bhatia said, "Going to a foreign land and defaming India, meeting with anti-India forces, this is being done by none other than India's Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. This is extremely concerning, and Indian citizens are also outraged about it."
