The Congress termed Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification a “conspiracy” to silence the leader, who has relentlessly attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for nearly a decade and served as the de facto leader of the main opposition party.

Yesterday, a combative Rahul Gandhi attacked the Prime Minister over his disqualification and cited Veer Savarkar to explain why he did not apologize for his remarks in London and during the defamation trial for which he was convicted.

“I have been disqualified because the Prime Minister fears my upcoming speech,” I observed dread within his eyes. “That’s why they don’t want me to speak in Parliament,” explained the leader of the Congress.In response to the BJP’s demands for an explanation, he stated, “My name is not Savarkar. I am a Gandhi. I won’t apologise.”

Mr. Gandhi was disqualified on Friday, a day after being found guilty of defamation by a court in Gujarat for a 2019 campaign trail remark deemed insulting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and dubbed by the BJP as degrading the entire Modi community.

The court also granted him parole and suspended his sentence for 30 days so he could file an appeal. His attorneys promised to file an appeal with a higher court.The Lok Sabha Secretariat also declared his Wayanad, Kerala, constituency vacant. The Election Commission may now call for a special election to fill the vacancy.

“During his press conference, Rahul Gandhi attempted to make deceptive statements and failed to address the topic. In 2019, Rahul Gandhi was punished for his speech. Today, he said, ‘I speak thoughtfully,’ which implies that whatever Rahul Gandhi said in 2019, he did so thoughtfully,’ a BJP lawmaker stated.

“Rahul Gandhi lied once more when he claimed he said nothing in London. In London, he stated that democracy in India has deteriorated and that European nations are ignoring it. “Lying has become second nature to Rahul Gandhi,” said Prasad.

“Rahul Gandhi was dissatisfied with his phone’s Pegasus feature. However, despite the Supreme Court’s request, he did not have his phone ‘examined’ to determine if it had been compromised. Why didn’t he go? He was in fact apprehensive”, the BJP leader stated.

In his press conference, Rahul Gandhi stated that he does not care if he is irrevocably disqualified from the Lok Sabha. “Please comprehend why I was disqualified. I was disqualified because Prime Minister Narendra Modi fears my upcoming speech on Adani. I saw it in his gaze,” the former Wayanad representative had said.

“I have no fear and I do not care if I am disqualified for life or imprisoned. I will keep doing my duties. Will continue to challenge PM Modi and Adani’s connections. The leader, who was convicted by a Gujarat court for referring to criminals as having the surname Modi, stated, “I will continue to fight for the truth, which has become my motto.”

“I have been disqualified because the Prime Minister is afraid of my upcoming speech; I saw it in his eyes.” “Therefore, first the diversion, then the disqualification,” he said, bringing up the Adani issue and adding, “This is the entire drama that has been orchestrated to protect the Prime Minister from the simple question: Whose Rs 20,000 crore went to Adani’s shell companies?”

“My job is to defend the democratic nature of the country, which means defending the institutions of the country, defending the voice of the poor people of the country, and telling people the truth about people like Adani who are exploiting their relationship with the PM,” he said, escalating the Opposition’s demand for a Joint Parliamentary Committee Investigation into the Adani dispute.

When queried about the BJP leaders who demanded an apology for his ‘democratic’ remarks and in relation to the 2019 defamation case, he stated, “Rahul Gandhi believes he is not Vir Savarkar. Gandhi kisi se maafi nahi maangta.”
