BJP Rejects Rahul Gandhi’s Allegation of Threat by Late Arun Jaitley Over Farm Laws
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi has sparked a political controversy by claiming that the late Arun Jaitley, former Finance Minister, threatened him over the now-repealed farm laws. The BJP has vehemently denied this allegation, demanding an apology from Gandhi.
BJP Leaders Dismiss Gandhi’s Claim as Baseless
Senior BJP leaders have publicly refuted Gandhi’s statement, emphasizing that Jaitley passed away in 2019, well before the intense protests surrounding the farm laws reached their peak. They have described the claim as not only untrue but also disrespectful to the memory of the deceased leader.
Party Calls for Accountability and Retraction
The BJP insists that Gandhi should retract his statement and apologize for spreading misinformation. The party argues that such unfounded allegations damage the political discourse and disrespect the legacy of a prominent figure like Arun Jaitley. They have called for greater accountability from political leaders in their public pronouncements.
