New Delhi, June 30 (NationPress) BJP leader and Lok Sabha member Nishikant Dubey has disclosed a document from the US intelligence agency CIA dated 2011, claiming that over 150 Congress MPs received financial support from the Soviet Union, acting as agents of Russia.
He asserted that this occurred under the guidance of the late Congress figure H.K.L. Bhagat.
Dubey posted various documents on his X handle on Monday, which he stated were released by the CIA in 2011.
His post was titled “Congress, Corruption, and Slavery”, and he commented in Hindi (loosely translated): “This unclassified secret document was released by the CIA in 2011.”
According to Dubey, the document reveals that under the leadership of the late Congress leader H.K.L. Bhagat, over 150 Congress MPs were funded by Soviet Russia, potentially acting as agents for the nation.
Bhagat, a prominent Congress leader and former Union Minister, passed away in September 2014. He faced accusations regarding the 1984 anti-Sikh riots; however, the Nanavati Commission, which investigated the riots, concluded that there was no necessity to probe his involvement due to his advanced age and health issues.
Dubey further claimed that the document mentions a group of journalists acting as Soviet agents. “A group of journalists were their agents, and there is mention of a total of 16,000 news articles that Russia got published?”
He alleged that during the Congress administration, approximately 1100 individuals from the Russian intelligence agency were present in India. “At that time, 1100 personnel from Russian intelligence agencies were in India, influencing bureaucrats, business entities, communist parties, and opinion leaders, thereby shaping India’s policies along with information?” Dubey stated.
The BJP leader also accused Congress candidate Subhadra Joshi of accepting 5 lakh rupees from the German government for elections, and after her defeat, she became the president of the Indo-German Forum.
Pointing a finger at the Congress party, he questioned, “Is this a country or a puppet of slaves, agents, and middlemen?”
He demanded accountability from the Congress party and called for an investigation. “Congress must answer, should there be an investigation on this today or not?” he concluded in his X post.
Point of View
