The Congress party alleges that the recent FIR against Rahul Gandhi is a carefully planned diversionary move by the ruling government to take away focus from the protest he led against Home Minister Amit Shah amid high-tension politics between the BJP and the Congress.
Key Points:
- The Allegation: Congress claims that the FIR is a political strategy to distract the public from Rahul Gandhi’s protest over critical issues targeting Home Minister Amit Shah.
- The Protest: Rahul Gandhi recently led a demonstration addressing alleged failures in governance, accusing the Home Minister of avoiding accountability on pressing national concerns.
- The FIR: Filed within hours of the protest, the FIR has charged Rahul Gandhi with provoking public disturbance and provocative speech.
Congress Reaction:
The senior leaders of the party have condemned the FIR saying the charge is baseless and the real intent is to silence the voices of dissent. “This FIR is just a gimmick to shield the government from public criticism,” said a party spokesperson.
BJP’s Response:
BJP had justified the FIR, which had alleged that Rahul Gandhi was acting in a very irresponsible manner, which could affect public order. “Law is one for all,” said a BJP leader countering Congress’ accusations.
Public Opinion:
This has drawn mixed reactions; the opposition parties have condemned this move while BJP supporters want tough action to be taken against Rahul Gandhi. Analysts feel that it would further polarize the political arena.
Way Forward:
With political hostility turning higher, both the sides ready to face electoral battles. While Congress threatens to go hard at BJP with all kinds of criticism, BJP will try to keep focus on governance and law and order.
This is an emerging trend of making use of legal and political tools in the charged up political climate of India. The next would come along in line as the process of investigation would continue.
