Rahul Gandhi's Democracy 'SOS' Abroad, BJP Attacks

Rahul Gandhi's comment in London that India's democracy "has come undone" has provoked a backlash with the ruling BJP accusing him of "shaming the country" on foreign soil by "seeking foreign intervention".  Rahul Gandhi had questioned at an event in London "why Europe and the US, the defenders of democracies, were oblivious of how a huge chunk of democracy in India had come undone". Rahul Gandhi's comments - do they defame India .. should this have been said overseas or is the BJP overreacting?
