Union Minister for Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani has blamed the Congress get together for the conviction of Congress chief Rahul Gandhi within the defamation case. Addressing the Yuva Samvada occasion organised by Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya, Irani stated that the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi as Lok Sabha MP was an ‘operation of the regulation,’ demonstrating that no particular person was above regulation within the nation. She additionally charged that Gandhi believed that he was above regulation after his disqualification from the Lok Sabha as in response to the judgement, he didn’t defend himself within the case.Â

“How does somebody change something when somebody is absent, always?…You should know that it’s directive of the court and why is it a directive of the court because the person concerned made a racial slur against the OBC community. Let that fact first be placed on record. Now many amongst you who are seated here today possibly do not know each other’s caste or religion background. Let me draw your attention to somebody on stage who’s from the OBC community. So the racial slur Mr. Gandhi has hitched is not only on one individual but the entire community that includes the chancellor. So now, the case in a court of law is fought on merits and evidence. If you read the judgment, the judgment says that the person concerned did not defend himself which leads me to assume two things – that either somebody within his political organization just did not want to defend him knowing what the courts are capable of under the law. Or Rahul Gandhi thought he’s above the law and that no court in this country will hold him accountable,” stated Irani.
