Rahul Gandhi alleges PM Modi is tapping his phone
The Leader of Opposition claimed his phone contains evidence of foreign influence and challenged the Prime Minister to a one-on-one debate.
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi has alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is having his phone tapped. Speaking during an 'Ask Me' session on Instagram, Gandhi claimed the device contains evidence to support his allegations against the government.
Gandhi stated that a one-on-one debate would reveal details regarding foreign influence and national loyalties. He said the debate would prove who is controlled by foreign powers and who is an anti-national, according to reports by Deccan Herald, Times Now and Rediff.
The Congress leader challenged the Prime Minister to a direct public confrontation rather than long speeches. He suggested a format where both parties make allegations against each other at a table. Gandhi said he would not object if RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat or Adani Group chairperson Gautam Adani acted as a judge.
Gandhi claimed that the Prime Minister will not remain in office after such a debate. He also alleged that he was not allowed to speak in the House on issues including the farm bills, China, and the Epstein controversy, claiming his microphone was switched off.
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister KP Maurya responded on X, stating that Gandhi is engaging in 'dirty politics' and is not worthy of a debate. Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Amit Shah have argued that Parliament provides a platform for such discussions, with Shah challenging Gandhi to raise his allegations in the House.
