"Posturing, Not Advocacy": Smriti Irani Slams Rahul Gandhi's FIR Sit-In
In an exclusive interview to NDTV's Padmaja Joshi, BJP leader Smriti Irani accused Rahul Gandhi of exploiting issues concerning paramilitary forces for "political gain" while disregarding official investigations
Union Minister JP Nadda criticized Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on Friday for his sit-in protest outside the Sansad Marg police station, accusing him of engaging in cheap, attention-seeking politics. Nadda stated that Gandhi's protest was not for the students or justice, but rather a display of the Congress party's desperation and Gandhi's desire for media attention.
Despite the Supreme Court establishing a five-member high-powered committee, Nadda questioned Gandhi's motives, asking if the Opposition Leader lacked faith in the country's judiciary.
Gandhi, speaking outside the police station, alleged that a pellet gun was used during a July 20 incident at Connaught Place, where student Sahil Lochav suffered injuries. Gandhi claimed that AIIMS reported more than 200 shells lodged in Lochav's body, including three in his eye, and that he has lost vision in that eye.
