BJP national spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain Sunday said that Congress president Rahul Gandhi must keep India's dignity in mind while speaking on a foreign soil.
Hussain criticised Gandhi a day after the Congress president, in a news conference in Dubai, accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "helping" Anil Ambani "steal Rs 30,000 crore" of the country.
In Dubai, Gandhi also reiterated his allegations that the prime minister shied away from defending himself personally in Lok Sabha on Rafale deal and fielded a woman - Defence Minister Nirmala Shitaraman - instead for it.
Gandhi also dubbed India as having become "intolerant" during the last four years under the BJP rule.
Speaking to reporters here, Hussain said, "Rahul Gandhi (in Dubai) made indecent remarks against Prime Minister Modi and said that intolerance in India has gone up in the past four years."
He added that "the people of the country will give a befitting reply to the Congress for using undignified language."
