The recent statement of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has once again brought political earthquake. Addressing the annual legal conclave of the Congress on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi made a claim about the late former Union Minister Arun Jaitley, which the BJP reacted sharply, calling it ‘fake news’ and said that when Arun Jaitley died in 2019, how did he come to meet Rahul Gandhi in 2020?
On the claim of Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi’s claim that late former Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had threatened him over agricultural laws, DDCA chief Rohan Jaitley on Saturday reminded the Congress leader that his father had died before these laws were implemented. He said, “Let me remind him that my father died in 2019. The Agriculture Act came into force in 2020.”
In a post on X, Rohan Jaitley wrote, “Rahul Gandhi is now claiming that my late father Arun Jaitley threatened him with agricultural laws. Let me remind him that my father had died in 2019. Agricultural laws were implemented in 2020. The agricultural law had come into force in 2020. Even more importantly, he was not a stronghold man in my father’s nature and he had always believed in a strong democratic person. Were.”
He further wrote, “If such a situation comes, as often happens in politics, he would call for independent and open discussion for everyone to reach a mutually acceptable solution. He was the same and he is still his legacy. I say to Rahul Gandhi, he should be conscious while speaking about those who are not with us. Was peace to the departed soul. “
Earlier, in the day, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that the NDA government had sent the late Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to threaten him for trying to fight against the agricultural laws brought by the Narendra Modi government earlier.
Rahul Gandhi said, “I remember when I was fighting against agricultural laws, Arun Jaitley was sent to threaten me. He told me,” If you continue to oppose the government and fight against agriculture laws, we have to take action against you. ” I looked at them and said, “I don’t think you know whom you are talking to.”
Actually, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said during the program, “I remember when I was fighting against agriculture laws, he (Arun Jaitley) is no longer, so I should not say so but still say, Arun Jaitley ji was sent to meet and threaten me.”
Rahul said that Jaitley ji said to me, “If you keep going on this path, protesting the government and fighting with us on agricultural laws, then we will have to take action against you. I replied that I do not think you are talking to whom you are talking to. We are Congressmen, do not be afraid, do not bow down. We are not able to bow.”
BJP retaliation: Rahul stays away from fake statements
The most sharp answer to this statement of Rahul Gandhi came from BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya. He wrote on X (East Twitter), ‘Fake News Alert!’
He further wrote, “Rahul Gandhi is claiming that Arun Jaitley threatened him for the agricultural laws brought in 2020. But the fact is that Arun Jaitley died on 24 August 2019, while the draft of agricultural laws was first introduced before the Union Cabinet on 3 June 2020 and these laws passed in September 2020.”
Amit Malviya further said, “In such a situation, the claim is sheer liar and misleading that Jaitley ji contacted him for something. It is clear that Rahul Gandhi is once again trying to create his political story by distorting the timeline.”
Let the father’s soul live peacefully: Rohan Jaitley
Arun Jaitley’s son and Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) President Rohan Jaitley also sparked a sharp hit on Rahul Gandhi’s remarks. He wrote on X, “Rahul Gandhi is now claiming that my late father Arun Jaitley had threatened him with agricultural laws. I want to remind him that my father had passed away in 2019, while agriculture laws were brought in 2020. And most importantly, the most important thing is that my father was never threatening to oppose any thought.
He further said, “I urge Rahul Gandhi to show some sensitivity while speaking about those who are no longer among us. He did derogatory act by linking Manohar Parrikar’s last days with politics.”
Lies in everything, when will Congress improve: Anurag Thakur
BJP MP and Union Minister Anurag Thakur also strongly attacked Rahul Gandhi. He said, “Everything of Rahul Gandhi is a lie. Every year he cannot improve. He cannot improve. How long will the Congress do politics of lies? Arun Jaitley was a big leader. He died in 2019 and agriculture law came in Parliament in 2020. How many lies will he lie? When Jaitley ji passed in 2019, how can he meet him in 2020? Rahul Gandhi can meet him in 2020?”
