A recent statement by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has once again created a stir in the political corridors. On Saturday, during the Congress’s annual legal conclave, he claimed such a claim about the late former Union Minister Arun Jaitley, on which the Bharatiya Janata Party raised strong objections and called it a fake news.
Rahul Gandhi said in his address, I remember when I was struggling against agricultural laws … He (Arun Jaitley) is no longer among us, so perhaps I should not say that, but still I will say. They were sent to threaten me. ”
Rahul further said that Arun Jaitley had warned him, if you continue to oppose the government and open a front against us on agricultural laws, then we will have to take action against you.
In response to this, Rahul said, I clearly told him that you probably do not know whom you are talking to. We are Congressmen, nor are we afraid, nor bow down. We could not bow down to the British.
BJP retaliation, Rahul Gandhi is lying on lies
The BJP immediately reacted sharply to Rahul Gandhi’s statement. The party’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya wrote on social media platform x, Fake News Alert! Rahul Gandhi claims that Arun Jaitley threatened him on agricultural laws in 2020, while Jaitley died on 24 August 2019.
Malaviya also clarified that the format of agricultural laws was introduced before the Union Cabinet in June 2020 and these laws were passed from Parliament in September 2020. In such a situation, Rahul Gandhi’s claim is not only factually wrong, but the political story that deliberately fed.
Son said, let the father’s soul live peacefully
Arun Jaitley’s son and DDCA President Rohan Jaitley also expressed displeasure over Rahul’s statement. He wrote, Rahul Gandhi is saying that my father threatened him on agricultural laws, while he died in 2019 and these laws came in 2020.
Rahul Gandhi Now Claims My Late Father, Arun Jaitley, Threated Him Over the farm laws.
Let me remind Him, My Father Passed Away in 2019. The farm laws was we introduced in 2020. He was a…– ROHAN JAITLEY (@rohanjaitley) August 2, 2025
He said that his father was never threatening anyone on opposition to thoughts. He was a true democratic who believed in dialogue and respect. Rahul Gandhi should now show sensitivity towards those not among us.
