Priyanka Defends Rahul: SC Censure Sparks Congress Firestorm
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a spirited defence of her brother, Rahul Gandhi, on Tuesday, following the Supreme Court’s rebuke of his remarks on the Indian Army. She vehemently rejected the court’s implication that it could define what constitutes a “true Indian”.
The Congress leader insisted that Rahul Gandhi’s profound respect for the armed forces was beyond question. His questioning of government policies, she argued, is a fundamental role of the opposition.
This sharp response underscores the growing tension between the Congress party and the judiciary. The Supreme Court’s decision has ignited a political firestorm, with the Congress alleging an attempt to stifle dissent.
The controversy highlights the delicate balance between freedom of speech and judicial oversight, particularly concerning sensitive national security issues. This case is set to significantly influence the ongoing political discourse and the relationship between the government and the opposition in the coming months.
