Germany On Rahul Gandhi Disqualification Row: The tussle between the Congress (Congress) and the BJP (BJP) continues after the cancellation of Rahul Gandhi’s parliament membership. Meanwhile, Germany has reacted to this matter, after which both the parties have retaliated against each other. The Congress has been accused by the BJP of inviting foreign powers to interfere in the internal affairs of the country. At the same time, the Congress also retaliated and said that the central government wants to divert attention from the Adani case. Let us tell you the big things related to this whole issue.
1. The German Foreign Ministry spokesman said that we have taken cognizance of the decision against opposition leader Rahul Gandhi in India and the suspension of his parliamentary membership. According to our information, Rahul Gandhi can challenge the decision. Then it will be clear whether this decision will stand and whether there is any basis for suspension? The spokesperson said Germany expects that the norms of judicial independence and fundamental democratic principles will apply equally to the proceedings against Rahul Gandhi.
2. After this statement, Congress leader Digvijay Singh thanked the Foreign Ministry of Germany. He tweeted that democracy in India is being compromised by harassing Rahul Gandhi and thanks to Germany’s Foreign Ministry and Deutsche Welle’s chief international editor Richard Walker for taking cognizance of it. Digvijaya Singh tagged a tweet by Walker that contained a video of the German Foreign Ministry spokesperson reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification from the Lok Sabha.
3. After this Congress and Digvijay Singh went on the target of BJP. BJP leaders alleged that Congress is inviting foreign interference in internal affairs. Union Minister Kiren Rijiju said that thanks to Rahul Gandhi for inviting foreign powers to interfere in India’s internal affairs. Remember, Indian Judiciary cannot be influenced by foreign interference. India will not tolerate foreign influence anymore because our Prime Minister Narendra Modi is.
4. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh meanwhile targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Ramesh tweeted that the Congress clearly believes that India’s democratic processes will have to deal with the threats posed to our democracy by the Prime Minister’s attack on institutions and his politics of intimidation. The Congress and the opposition parties will fight them fearlessly.
5. Targeting Kiren Rijiju, Congress media department chief Pawan Kheda said that why Rijiju ji is diverting attention from the main issue? The point is that the Prime Minister cannot answer Rahul Gandhi’s questions on the Adani matter. Instead of misleading people, please answer the questions, he said.
6. Hitting out at Congress over Digvijay Singh’s tweet, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur said that it is a disgrace to the country that Congress and Rahul Gandhi are trying to sabotage India’s democratic, political and legal fight. Not believing in fighting within the country, they invite foreign powers to interfere in our internal affairs, but the new India under PM Modi will not tolerate any foreign interference.
7. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tweeted that it seems Congress wants foreign interference in our affairs. She signs a memorandum of understanding with the Communist Party of China, which contains opaque terms. During dialogue abroad, help is sought to change the government. When help comes, they are thanked. Need any more proof? Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal retweeted Sitharaman’s tweet.
8. Former External Affairs Minister and Congress leader Salman Khurshid, when asked whether the Ministry of External Affairs should intervene and talk to their German counterparts on the issue of Rahul Gandhi, said that we should Why tell them what to do? This is their job. If they had asked us for help, we would have thought about it, but they can’t because we agree with whatever has been said. How can we oppose something outside that we agree with here?
9. Before Germany Vedanta Patel, Deputy Spokesperson of the US State Department, said in a press conference on Monday that respect for the rule of law and judicial independence is the cornerstone of any democracy. We are looking into Rahul Gandhi’s case in Indian courts. We are in touch with the Government of India on our shared commitment to democratic values, including freedom of expression. He said that in our conversations with our Indian partners, we underline the importance of protecting democratic principles and human rights, including freedom of expression. Will continue to do so.
10. Significantly, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been sentenced to two years in a 2019 defamation case by a court in Surat. In view of this, he was disqualified from the membership of the Lok Sabha last Friday.
