Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman targeted Rahul Gandhi over the remarks made on Arun Jaitley. He said in the Lok Sabha on Saturday that such irresponsible comments by the Leader of the Opposition only harm the Congress.
Rahul Gandhi’s comment disgusting
The Finance Minister replied to Rahul Gandhi’s remarks and posted a post on social media X. He said in the post that if there is any face of irresponsibility, he is the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi. In public life, making unfounded allegations against people, even on those who are no longer among us, are becoming a personality specialty for them. His comment on the late Shri Arun Jaitley is disgusting. India needs a strong opposition party. An irresponsible leadership damages his party and the country. But do they care for them.
If irresponsibility has a face, it is @RahulGandhiLeader of opposition in ls. To throw baseless allegations at people in public life, even those who are no longer with us, is getting a personality trait in Him. His remarks on late shri. Arun jaitley is despicable.

What did Rahul Gandhi say?
Addressing the annual legal conference 2025 on Friday, Rahul Gandhi in his language had commented on the Modi government regarding Arun Jaitley. He said that I remember when I was fighting against agricultural laws, Arun Jaitley was sent to threaten me. He told me that if you continue to oppose the government, keep fighting against agricultural laws, then we have to take action against you. I looked at them and said that I don’t think you know whom you are talking to.
