Rahul an incapable opposition leader, says BJP
New Delhi, Aug 24 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Friday described Congress President Rahul Gandhi as an "incapable opposition leader" and accused him of justifying the terrorist outfit ISIS.
"Congress President is on foreign tours. Earlier he used to go after Parliament session and say that he had gone for 'dhyan' and to 'gain knowledge'," senior BJP leader Sudhanshu Trivedi told media here.
"And now, on the recent tours he has been sharing his knowledge with the people. This shows his immaturity, incapability and ill will. It shows clearly that he is not capable of being a good opposition leader, leave aside holding the post of Prime Minister," Trivedi said.
The BJP leader also slammed Gandhi for justifying Islamic State (IS) and making comparisons with India.
Trivedi was reacting to Congress chief's criticism of the government by citing the example of IS to say that exclusion of a large number of people from the development process could lead to the creation of terrorist groups in the world.
Gandhi had said that the US, while invading Iraq had stopped a tribe, Tikriti network, from getting government and army jobs and later the tribe linked up with other groups. He referred to the recent incidents of lynching and attack on the Dalits, saying people in India were angry and the ruling alliance was weakening "support structures" meant for the weaker sections.
"Yesterday, he said that the IS was founded because of unemployment. I want to ask him that Osama bin Laden, who was one of the most wanted terrorists...was he an unemployed youth and a poor?" he said.
"No, he was a billionaire. And the persons who hit the World Trade Center with the aeroplane were also poor or unemployed? No, they were leading a good life in the US and having all the means to lead a good life," he said.
"You tried to belittle the fight of ideologies for your petty political gains. It is condemnable," said Trivedi slamming the Congress leader.

Explosion near CRPF School in Delhi caused by lit cigarette butts: Report
New Delhi: The investigation team that probed the explosion that took place outside the CRPF School in the Prashant Vihar area of the city on October 20 morning has reportedly not found any terror force behind the blast.
The investigation team, consisting of Delhi Police and staff members from central agencies, has stated in its report that cigarette butts thrown by a local resident might have come in contact with industrial waste and have caused the explosion. Circumstantial evidence does not show the incident to have a terror angle to it, reports The Indian Express.
The Delhi Police, the city bomb squad and the fire brigade had rushed to the spot following the explosion, which was initially believed to have been caused by a crude bomb. The forensic experts who inspected the spot hinted at the presence of potassium chlorate, hydrogen peroxide and some electrical wires there. The school wall had been damaged and the windows of a car nearby had shattered in the explosion.
The investigation team scanned the CCTV camera footage and zeroed in on around 10 people questioned. A senior police officer said that a North Delhi-based businessman from Prashant Vihar was found to be present at the spot around five minutes before the explosion, as he had come there on Sunday morning to walk his dog. The CCTV footage showed him smoking and, after questioning him, the team concluded that he had left lit cigarette butts before leaving the spot, the officer added.
The spot where the explosion took place is learned to have been usually used for dumping garbage and also has a public urinal.
An officer has said that the Delhi Police had consulted forensic and technical experts of the National Security Guard regarding the things found on the explosion site but are yet to get the report. The officer added that they have found no detonator so far.
