US EditionRahul Says Arun Jaitley 'Threatened' Him on Farm Laws, Son Rohan Responds with Reality Check: 'Father Died in...'
INDIA, AUG 2 – Rahul Gandhi’s claim that Arun Jaitley threatened him is contradicted by Jaitley’s son, who highlighted that Jaitley died before the farm laws were introduced in 2020.
- On Saturday, Rahul Gandhi alleged at the Annual Legal Conclave 2025 that Arun Jaitley, who died in 2019, threatened him over farm laws. He claimed Jaitley was sent to intimidate him, calling it BJP's 'cowardice' ideology.
- Against the backdrop of the 2020 farm laws, Gandhi alleged that Arun Jaitley threatened him during his protest, calling it a reflection of the BJP's 'cowardice' despite Jaitley's death in 2019.
- Shortly after Rahul Gandhi's allegation, Rohan Jaitley emphasized that his father Arun Jaitley died in 2019, before the farm laws were introduced in 2020.
- The BJP immediately rejected Gandhi's allegations as 'fake news' and called any suggestion of Jaitley threatening him 'factually incorrect and misleading'.
- Looking beyond this spat, Gandhi has also cast doubt on the 2024 general elections, pledging to prove rigging in coming days, amid his criticism of the Election Commission of India.
