Rahul Gandhi Claims Arun Jaitley Threatened Him. His Son Replies
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi drew a sharp counter from late BJP leader Arun Jaitley's son this morning, after the Congress MP claimed that the government had sent the former Union minister to threaten him over the Opposition's pushback against the farm laws.
The farm laws - comprising three separate legislations that would have deregulated the government-run wholesale markets - were introduced in 2020 but withdrawn after over a year due to massive protests by farmers. This was after Arun Jaitley died, pointed out his son, Rohan Jaitley.
The BJP, too, snubbed Mr Gandhi's claims as "fake news".
Speaking at the Annual Legal Conclave 2025, Mr Gandhi, who now leads the Congress charge in Lok Sabha, claimed that Arun Jaitley had threatened him with action if he carried on the protest against the three farm laws.
