Rahul Gandhi, the son of a “martyred prime minister,” was insulted by the Bharatiya Janta party (BJP) on Sunday by being called a traitor and Mir Jafar, according to Congress National Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. Speaking to a crowd at Rajghat, the Mahatma Gandhi monument, in Delhi, Priyanka also called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “Coward” in reference to Rahul Gandhi’s 2019 defamation case conviction and subsequent expulsion from the Lok Sabha “.
“You refer to my brother as a traitor and Mir Jafar, the son of a martyr. You make fun of his mother. Rahul Gandhi, according to your chief minister, doesn’t know who his mother is. You always make fun of my family. But no cases have been brought “stated Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
The Congressman responded to the BJP’s criticism on Rahul Gandhi by claiming that the BJP had denigrated the Kashmiri Pandit ancestry of the Gandhi family.
“Your Prime Minister asks, “Why doesn’t this family use the name Nehru name,” in front of a packed parliament. He disparages the whole Kashmiri Pandit family as well as the tradition of a son carrying on the family name after his father’s passing “stated Priyanka Gandhi.
The moment, according to her, has come to speak out against a “arrogant administration.” “Because prohibiting Rahul Gandhi from running in elections is bad for the nation’s democracy.
He was referred to as a “coward” and a person “hiding behind authority to rescue one individual” by the head of the House.
She said, “The Prime Minister of our nation is a coward,” or Iss desh ka Pradhan Mantri Kaayar Hai.
Rahul Gandhi was allegedly disqualified for asking the prime minister about entrepreneur Gautam Adani, according to Priyanka Gandhi, who also said that those responsible will get an appropriate response.
“At first, they called him Papu, but they had no idea that Papu had studied at prestigious institutions like Harvard and Cambridge. Then one day the Papu began to walk, attracting thousands of people who followed him despite the rain and snow. As a result, they decided to bar him from Parliament so he could not ask questions “She said.
She said that starting today, the country as a whole will come together to remove the current government, just as people had done with authoritarian ones.
“Our nation’s democracy was planted with the blood of my family. To protect the democracy of our nation, we are willing to do everything. The basis of democracy in our nation was built by outstanding members of Congress.
She addressed the crowd gathered during the “Sankalp Satyagraha” outside Rajghat, saying, “Time has arrived, and we are not the ones who will stay mute longer.”
Priyanka Gandhi questioned why a slain prime minister’s son should disparage the nation, saying, “This is a disrespect to that prime leader who lost his life.”
Leading members of the party, including Mallikarjun Kharge, Jairam Ramesh, P Chidambaram, Salman Khursheed, Ajay Maken, KC Venugopal, Mukul Wasnik, Pramod Tiwari, and Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary, joined the demonstration at Rajghat even though Delhi police had refused to allow the meeting.
Large gatherings were prohibited nearby, and Delhi Police kept a close eye on the area.
