Is the BJP using Rahul Gandhi as a diversionary tactic?

The Hindu  

Published : Apr 06, 2023 11:00 IST - 10 MINS READ An unconventionally quick judicial proceeding in a defamation case and an unusually quick verdict delivered on March 23 resulted in former Congress president Rahul Gandhi being disqualified from Parliament on March 24. The opposition is fighting the battle and it is not an Indian battle alone, actually it is much more of a bigger battle, a battle for a huge part of democratic people.” The BJP quickly used this speech to mount an attack on Rahul Gandhi for “insulting India in London”, thus effectively deflecting attention from the Adani question. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh pointed out that the defamation case against Gandhi was fast-tracked, taking place just nine days after Gandhi’s speech in the Lok Sabha questioning Modi’s connection with Gautam Adani. Don’t know how many defamation cases should be filed against the BJP.” Denouncing the action of disqualifying Gandhi, CPI general secretary Sitaram Yechury said, “It is condemnable that the BJP is now using the criminal defamation route to target opposition leaders and disqualify them. Bharat Rashtra Samithi leader and Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao described Gandhi’s disqualification as a “black day” in the “history of Indian democracy”.
