Rahul Appeared Before Parliament Panel On External Affairs, Denies Anti-India Remarks

Delhi/Hyderabad, March 19 (Maxim News): Senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appeared before the Parliamentary Committee panel on external affairs and said that he has not spoken anything which is against the country. The members of the ruling party objected to this, but Rahul was supported by the Opposition members. Sources said, External Affairs Minister S.Jaishankar intervened and said that the members should speak on the subject.

The meeting which was held yesterday, the sources said that Rahul Gandhi has been insisting that he wants to speak in the House and met the Speaker a few days ago. He said four Ministers have raised allegations against him in Parliament House so he has the right to respond. “It is my right to be allowed to speak on the floor of the House. I requested the speaker today. I went to his chamber and I requested him. I said – look, I would very much like to speak. I told him that people from the BJP have made allegations against me and that as a Member of Parliament, it is my right to speak, he said.

The BJP has seized the opportunity to target Rahul Gandhi, and BJP National President JP Nadda has said that Rahul Gandhi has become “a permanent part of this anti-nationalist toolkit”.

Nadda said, “It is unfortunate that the Congress party is indulging in anti-national activities. After being repeatedly rejected by the nation, Rahul Gandhi has now become a permanent part of this anti-nationalist toolkit.”
