Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has defended her brother Rahul Gandhi on the Supreme Court’s comment. He said that the judges of the Supreme Court cannot decide who is a true Indian. Let me tell you that this dispute started when the Supreme Court on Monday stayed the ongoing proceedings against Rahul Gandhi in a Lucknow court, but also said that ‘if he is a true Indian, he should not have made such a statement’. This comment of the Supreme Court was about the statement of Rahul Gandhi, which he gave to the army in December 2022 during the ‘Bharat Jigo Yatra’.

‘Who will not decide the judges of the Supreme Court?
Reacting to this, Priyanka Gandhi told reporters in the Parliament complex, ‘I respect the judges of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, but it is not her job to decide who is true Indian. The Leader of the Opposition is the job of asking the government and challenging it. He said that his brother Rahul Gandhi has great respect for the army and he can never say anything against the army. Priyanka said, ‘Rahul always respects the army. His statement is being misrepresented.

What did Rahul Gandhi give a statement?
On 9 December 2022, Rahul Gandhi made a statement related to the army in a speech during the ‘Bharat Joaro Yatra’, which was registered against him in a Lucknow court. Although the Supreme Court gave him relief in that case, but also said that ‘a true Indian will not give such a statement’.
Accusation between BJP-Congress
At the same time, the BJP targeted Rahul Gandhi over this matter and said that he has ‘vowed to strengthen China’. In response to this, the Congress said that patriotic Indians have sought answers from the government since the Galwan Valley incident, but the government is hiding the truth through ‘DDLJ Niti-Dina (refusal), distract (meditation), Lai (lies), Lai (lies), Justice (Cleaning)’.

Congress cleaning, BJP attack
The Congress says that Rahul Gandhi never insulted the army. They were only seeking answers from the government what steps were taken after the martyrdom of our soldiers at the hands of China in Galwan. The BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of supporting China and said that his attitude is anti -national. BJP leaders accused this on the basis of Rahul’s old statements.
