Senior Indian National Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, while being interviewed by former US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs and Harvard University professor Nicholas Burns, asked for American intervention in India.
From seeking intervention of Pakistan to now seeking US intervention to depose @narendramodi as PM

Rahul Gandhi, who often answers a question with another question, asked Burns what the American establishment thinks of what is happening in India. Gandhi also asked Burns what his views were on India as well.
Saying that he feels that he feels democracy is in danger in India, Gandhi also demanded American intervention.
Wading into the Khalistani-linked farmer’s protests against the Centre’s farm laws, Gandhi said, “It is absolutely necessary to reform agriculture, but you cannot attack the foundation of the agriculture system and you certainly cannot do that without having a conversation, because they are going to react.”
He added, “To fight elections, I need institutional structures, I need a judicial system that protects me, I need a media that is reasonably free, I need financial parity, I need a set of institutional structures that allow me to operate as a political party. I do not have them”.
He also cast aspersions on the electoral process in India which, he insinuated, were not free and fair.
By making such statements, Rahul Gandhi was clearly asking for foreign intervention, which is reminiscent of how in 1761, the Sufi ‘saint’ Shah Waliullah invited Ahmad Shah Abdali to India to oust the Marathas.
Tom Vadakkan, national spokesperson of the BJP, said “Rahul Gandhi is a dynast. He doesn’t come to an elected process. Democracy in India is vibrant.”
