Sam Pitroda: “Felt at Home in Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal”
Rahul Gandhi’s close aide and Indian Overseas Congress chief Sam Pitroda sparked a political row after stating that he felt “at home” while visiting India’s neighbouring countries. “I’ve been to Pakistan, and I must tell you, I felt at home. I’ve been to Bangladesh, I’ve been to Nepal, and I feel at home. I don’t feel like I’m in a foreign country,” Pitroda remarked, highlighting the shared culture, food, language, and traditions that bind the region together.
His statement drew sharp criticism from the BJP, which accused him of being insensitive to issues of national security and terrorism. Pitroda later clarified that his comments were meant to underline people-to-people ties and common heritage across South Asia, not to undermine India’s concerns. He maintained that fostering neighbourly relations is essential for regional peace and cooperation.
