In a recent statement, Congress Member of Parliament Hibi Eden expressed unwavering support for Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, emphasizing his dedication to addressing farmers’ issues. Eden asserted that Gandhi remains committed to advocating for farmers regardless of any potential repercussions to his parliamentary role or political future.

The Congress party, according to Eden, has made a clear commitment to emphasize these issues, particularly in relation to the proposed trade deal with the United States. “Rahul Gandhi will continue to voice the concerns of farmers both in and outside Parliament. No matter the consequences for his membership, he is resolute in his fight for farmers and ensuring India’s dignity in global affairs,” Eden stated.

Allegations Against Rahul Gandhi by BJP MP

This declaration follows actions taken by Bharatiya Janata Party Member of Parliament Nishikant Dubey, who recently submitted a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. In his correspondence, Dubey called for a specialized Parliamentary Inquiry Committee to examine Gandhi’s conduct, particularly in light of recent statements made during a session of Parliament.

Dubey accused Gandhi of unethical behavior and being part of a broader group working to destabilize the nation. He claimed Gandhi is linked to the Ford Foundation and suggested that its funding supports Gandhi’s international travel. Dubey characterized his actions as a responsibility to point out alleged misconduct by Gandhi in claiming, “He misleads the nation with assistance from international forces wanting to harm it.”

Calls for Action Against Gandhi

In his motion to the Lok Sabha, Dubey is pushing for the expulsion of Rahul Gandhi from Parliament and a ban on him from participating in future elections. “The motion I have presented seeks not only the termination of his parliamentary membership but also a lifetime prohibition on contesting elections,” Dubey said.

His statements reflect ongoing tensions between the Congress and BJP over various national issues. According to Dubey, Gandhi’s recent criticisms of governmental decisions and international diplomatic actions have been inappropriate and misinformative.

Responses from Congress Leaders

In light of the accusations, Congress MP Vamsi Krishna Gaddam raised concerns regarding the implications of the proposed trade deal, stating that the BJP has been unresponsive to critical issues.

Gaddam questioned why India is compliant with certain U.S. demands, including oil purchases dictated by external authorities. “There are crucial queries surrounding the trade deal and how it affects our country. Instead of addressing these, the BJP appears to overshadow the discussions,” Gaddam mentioned.

Rahul Gandhi’s Challenge to the Government

Rahul Gandhi himself responded to the accusations with a challenge to the government, urging them to pursue a privilege motion against him. He reiterated his commitment to championing farmers’ rights.

His remarks came after Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju commented on potential privilege notices from BJP MPs, indicating growing tensions over the narrative surrounding governance and accountability in Parliament.
