Rahul Gandhi Challenges PM Modi for Open Debate on 'Foreign Help'
The Home Minister says the government is ready for a special session as the BJP and Congress clash over alleged voter deletions and electoral roll revisions.
- On Tuesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah challenged Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to debate 'vote chori' allegations in a special session of Parliament, accusing the Opposition of disrupting proceedings while questioning the Special Intensive Revision process.
- The Opposition bloc recently held a symbolic public impeachment of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, accusing the Election Commission of deleting voter names to influence elections and triggering sharp political exchange with the BJP.
- Shah dismissed the Opposition's Delhi rally as a "Save Infiltrators" rally, alleging Congress opposes the SIR to protect illegal voters. He claimed nearly 3 crore infiltrators were removed from electoral rolls.
- Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh responded Tuesday, demanding the resignation of CEC Gyanesh Kumar and suspension of the SIR as conditions for debate. He noted 82 days have passed since the Monsoon Session adjourned sine die.
- With Punjab Assembly elections scheduled for 2027, Shah's remarks signal aggressive BJP campaigning against Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, highlighting deeper political divisions ahead of electoral contests in the state.
