'False Narrative': BJP's NV Subhash Slams Rahul Gandhi Over SC Row
Telangana BJP spokesperson NV Subhash accuses Rahul Gandhi of pushing a false narrative and targeting the judiciary after the Supreme Court's notice.
The political temperature has risen following a legal clash involving the INDIA bloc, as Telangana BJP chief spokesperson NV Subhash launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. This comes after the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Congress party, Gandhi, and other INDIA bloc leaders regarding a petition that questioned their conduct during a march to the apex court and their entry into the court registry on October 12.
Accusations of Targeting Institutions
NV Subhash expressed deep concern over the approach of the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, asserting that such actions undermine the very foundation of democratic values. The BJP spokesperson alleged that Rahul Gandhi has developed a pattern of targeting constitutional bodies whenever it suits his political agenda.
According to Subhash, Gandhi's criticisms have followed a specific trajectory. He claimed that the Congress leader first targeted the Narendra Modi-led government, then shifted his focus to the Election Commission of India, and has now set his sights on the judiciary.
“This is a situation where the Leader of Opposition, being a responsible leader, should behave in a manner that protects democracy,” Subhash stated.
Chaos in Delhi and 'Media Stunts'
The BJP leader did not hold back while discussing the events of October 12. He alleged that the actions of the INDIA bloc leaders created a chaotic environment in the national capital. Subhash further accused Rahul Gandhi of orchestrating the incident primarily to garner media attention rather than to seek genuine legal redress.
The spokesperson demanded that Gandhi provide a clear explanation for his actions and offer a formal apology to the nation for the disruption caused.
The 'False Narrative' Claim
A central point of Subhash's criticism was the allegation that the Congress party is attempting to build a false narrative. He claimed that Gandhi is intentionally misleading the public regarding several key issues, including:
- The general electoral process.
- The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
- The functioning and integrity of the judiciary.
Subhash argued that by raising these concerns, the Congress is merely attempting to shift blame onto constitutional institutions to cover its own shortcomings.
The Legal Context
The current political firestorm is rooted in a petition filed with the Supreme Court concerning the events of October 12, when INDIA bloc leaders entered the court registry. The apex court has now sought a formal response from the named leaders and the Congress party to address the concerns raised in the petition.
This development has reignited a fierce debate over the boundaries of political protest and the appropriate way to engage with the highest judicial body in the country.
