After the Supreme Court pulled Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on his alleged remarks on the Indian Army, Priyanka Gandhi Wadra said on Tuesday that this is a “misinterpretation” as his brother holds the army in the most respect.
“… they do not decide who is a true Indian. It is the job of the opposition leader, asking questions to challenge the government. My brother will never say anything against the army. He keeps the army in the most respect. Therefore, it is a misconception,” Priyanka told ANI.
Earlier on Monday, the Supreme Court pulled Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on its alleged remarks on the Indian Army after a confrontation between Indian and Chinese forces in the Yangsi region of Arunachal Pradesh in 2022.
A bench of Justices Dipankar Dutta and Augustine George Maasih expressed rejection of Gandhi’s comments, saying how he knows that Chinese has occupied 2000 square kilometers of land and said that a true Indian would not say so.
Justice Dutta said, “How will you know that 2000 square kilometers of Indian region was occupied by China? What is reliable material? If you are a true Indian, you will not say this. When there is a struggle on the borders … can you say all this?”
The Congress leader commented on December 16, 2022 during his ‘Bharat Joko Yatra’.
Gandhi had said, “People will ask about India’s journey, here and there, Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot and Whatston.
He said, “But the Indian press does not ask him any question about it. Is this not true? The nation is watching all this. Do not show this that people do not know,” he said. (AI)
