Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal has alleged that the FIR against Rahul Gandhi was a counter-tactic in response to his strong opposition to Home Minister Amit Shah’s comments on BR Ambedkar.
In a post on X, Mr. Venugopal shared, “The FIR against Rahul Gandhi is not just a diversionary tactic in response to his strong opposition against the Home Minister. Prosecuting him for protecting Babasaheb’s legacy is a badge of honour. However, Rahul Gandhi was earlier accused of political vendetta by the BJP.” is facing 26 FIRs and this latest FIR will prevent him or the Congress from standing up against the casteist RSS-BJP regime. No.”
“At the same time, why didn’t the Delhi Police act on FIRs filed by women Congress MPs against BJP leaders who physically abused them?”, he said.
The Delhi Police on Thursday (December 19, 2024) registered an FIR against Rahul Gandhi, after the BJP and Congress filed a cross complaint against each other in connection with the alleged violence in Parliament. Parliament witnessed unprecedented scenes of parallel protests by opposition and BJP-led NDA members which later came face to face.
Congress leader Manikam Tagore also went to X and added, “Protecting Babasaheb Ambedkar’s legacy is a badge of honour, not a crime. Despite 26 politically motivated FIRs, Rahul ji and the Congress will stand against the casteist RSS-BJP regime.”
