New Delhi. The Supreme Court has stayed the sedition law.

Now after the decision of the Supreme Court, the statements of many leaders are also coming out. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s reaction came first in this. In which he tweeted targeting the central government and wrote, ‘Speaking the truth is patriotism, not treason. Telling the truth is patriotism, not treason. Listening to the truth is the state religion, crushing the truth is obstinacy. do not fear’.

However, after this tweet of Rahul Gandhi, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju also did not delay in replying to the Congress leader. Taking the front of the center himself, he retaliated on Rahul Gandhi. Along with this, Rijiju made a series of tweets one after the other. He also tried to show a mirror to Rahul Gandhi by referring to former PM Indira Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru in his tweet. Kiren Rijiju, while targeting Rahul Gandhi, has talked about the constitutional amendment done by Nehru after independence. Along with this, he has also been asked to stand with the anti-national forces on the Congress.
Congress anti-democracy and respect for institutions- Kiren Rijiju
Kiren Rijiju has hit back on Rahul Gandhi’s tweet and said, ‘The air-talking of @RahulGandhi. If there is one party that is opposed to freedom, democracy and respect for institutions, it is the Indian National Congress. This party has always stood with the forces that broke India and it has left no chance to divide India. And… who brought the First Amendment? It was none other than Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru! At that time Shyama Prasad Mookerjee and Jana Sangh had opposed this measure aimed at curtailing the freedom of expression. Nehru ji also dismissed the democratically elected government in Kerala.
During the Anna Movement and the other anti-corruption movements too, those who were not toeing the UPA line were subjected to bullying, harassment, intimidation and arrests. All this under the watchful eyes of the UPA! https://t.co/UgY1E422ry

Kiren Rijiju did not stop there and wrote, ‘And when it comes to crushing the freedom of expression, Mrs. Indira Gandhi is the gold medal winner in this! We all know about Emergency but do you also know that he had imposed Article 356 more than 50 times! She came up with the idea of a ‘committed judiciary’ to undermine our third pillar judiciary! And..Indira Gandhi’s government had made section 124A a cognizable offense for the first time in the history of India. This happened in the new Code of Criminal Procedure 1973, which came into force in 1974.
Empty words by @RahulGandhi
If there is one party that is the antithesis of freedom, democracy and respect for institutions, it is the Indian National Congress.
This Party has always stood with Breaking India forces and left no opportunity to divide India. https://t.co/Rajl1pG2v8
