A month after receiving a massive drubbing in 2014 general elections, Rahul had gone abroad. In 2015, he went on leave for almost two months, flying to Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar.
In 2016 and 2017, he celebrated his birthday in Turkey and Italy. Next year, he flew with his mother Sonia Gandhi for an 'annual check-up.'
For now, Rahul is on a private trip to Cambodia and the Congress is making all attempts to divert attention from his tour in midst of ensuing Haryana and Maharashtra elections.
Rahul's mother also have made many foreign trips as well. In 2005, she flew to Moscow in a Reliance jet and met Russian President Vladimir Putin, in the capacity of a mere Congress Party President.
These are a few foreign trips of the Gandhis, but much is not known about the actual purpose and reasons of these visits.
There are many instances, where Rahul has been caught lying about the trips. Last year, the Congress had denied any meeting between China ministers and Rahul during his Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, but days later, he admitted of it in a public rally in Odisha.
In another instance, he had tweeted about his US visit along with his mother for her medical checkup, but a few days after, he was spotted in either in UK or Germany.
In yet another instance, Rahul had met the founders of the tainted CA, which has been charged with stealing millions of data from Facebook users.
So, the foreign trips of the Gandhis pinpoint to a deep-rooted conspiracy.
When all other politicians, including late Arun Jaitley, had disclosed their foreign trips, why is it that the Gandhis do not inform the Indian authorities? Why is it that they do not disclose the issues discussed with the Chinese or Russian leaders? What are they trying to hide? Why is it that they visit foreign countries without security cover?
If something happens to them on such visits, the Congress, surely, will blame Narendra Modi government, and hence, it is very important to give them security cover to their entire travel abroad.
In this context, the Centre has reportedly asked the Gandhis to furnish information of their recent tours.
It has also issued fresh guidelines related to the security cover given to the Gandhis, including Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
The revised guidelines make it mandatory for the Special Protection Group (SPG) personnel to accompany Gandhis during their foreign trips as well.
Previously, SPG personnel accompanied Gandhis till their first location abroad and were subsequently sent back to India by them apparently preferring privacy over security.
The new guidelines also make it compulsory for the Gandhis to submit itinerary of all foreign trips.
The Centre has also reportedly made it clear that non-acceptance of these new guidelines could lead to curtailment on their foreign visits on account of security considerations.
If the new rule is implemented, the Gandhis will have no options, but to either cancel the private trip or seek withdrawal of SPG cover to them.
The choice will be theirs ....
