New Delhi: Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday lambasted the Narendra Modi government and accused it of threatening the judiciary. Calling the National Herald case a political vendetta, Rahul said. "It is their way of doing politics."
"100 per cent political vendetta is coming out of PMO. I have full faith in the judiciary. Truth will come out in the end. Who is threatening judiciary, we all know," said Rahul.
After repeated adjournments in Parliament, Parliamentary Affairs Minister M Venkaiah Naidu accused the Opposition of disrupting the House and threatening judiciary through Parliament.
No major business has transacted in the Winter Session of Parliament and crucial Goods and Service Tax Bill and the Real Estate Bill are still pending. And after the recent order of the National Herald case, the Congress is in mood to relent and support the BJP to pass the Bill.
Both Congress President Sonia Gandhi and her son Rahul along with five others have been ordered by the Patiala House Court to appear before it on December 19 in the National Herald case.
The Congress has accused the government of indulging in vendetta politics. "We will not allow the government to silence the voice of the Opposition. The Opposition leaders are being harassed by the government. The voice of opposition is being suppressed by the government," said Congress MP Mallikarjun Kharge.
Slamming the government, Rahul had on Tuesday said, "Let them do what they want. They can do whatever they want to. I am not going to budge one inch. The same questions I am asking the Prime Minister (Modi) or the government, I am going to continue asking them."
Invoking the legacy of former prime minister Indira Gandhi and her mother-in-law, Sonia Gandhi had asserted that she was not scared of anyone. "I'm daughter-in-law of Indira Gandhi. I am not scared of anyone. Why should I be scared?"
