Why Rahul Gandhi is being targeted, when BJP has MPs with serious charges ? asks Sukhwinder Singh Danny
Ferozepur , March 31 , 2023 : On launching of Save Constitution Campaign, Sukhwinder Singh Danny Congress spokesperson today, when Kulbir Singh Zira formal MLA and President District Congress Committee was also present, condemned the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi as MP, at the local Congress Bhawan while addressing the media persons. He said, it is not understood as to why Rahul Gandhi is being targeted when BJP itself has 55 per cent MPs with serious charges.
He said, “Due to the growing popularity of All India Congress Party leader Rahul Gandhi in the minds of the people of the country, the Bharatiya Janata Party team including Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become nervous and Prime Minister Narendra Modi led BJP government is misusing the constitutional institution. Whoever questions the BJP, he is silenced by intimidation by using various agencies and constitutional rights in a well-planned conspiracy.
He said that Mr. Rahul Gandhi gave a speech in Parliament on 7 February 2023 questioning the relationship between Gautam Adani and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked a big question to the Modi government about as to how Rs 20,000 crore has suddenly arrived in Adani’s shell companies. Where did the money come from? Whose money is it? Some of these companies are defence companies. Why is the defence ministry not asking the question?
He further said said, Within 9 days of Rahul Gandhi’s address , a false complaint one of BjP’s MLA Purnesh Bhootwala had filed in a court in Surat, Gujarat in 2019 and he himself had obtained a stay in 2022 by seeking a stay from the Gujarat High Court . The same was withdrawn from the Gujarat High Court within 9 days of Rahul Gandhi 's speech in Parliament a year later . On February 27, 2023 , the hearing began in the Surat court on that false complaint and on March 23, 2023 , in less than a month , the court convicted Rahul Gandhi .
He said it was the first time in independent India that someone was sentenced to 2 years imprisonment in a defamation case. After that on 24th March 2023, within 24 hours, the Lok Sabha Secretariat disqualified Rahul Gandhi as a Lok Sabha MP and revoked his membership, while 55 percent of the BJP MPs are accused of serious charges but No action was ever taken against them and their membership was never cancelled. All this shows how Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's government is very nervous about Rahul Gandhi and his questions.
Talking about the launching of the Save Constitution Campaign, he said that the Congress party and the people of the country made a significant contribution to the freedom of this country by sacrificing their lives and making this country free. Even now the Congress party is ready to wage a big struggle against this dictatorial attitude of the Modi government by taking its workers, common people and mobilizing them and they are ready to fight this government dictatorship with complete fearlessness.
In reply to the question, he said, Rahul Gandhi after taking the legal opinion will move accordingly to take shelter of the court of law as he still has time for the same.
