On Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi's statements against the Election Commission, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Kiren Rijiju says, "This is not the first time Rahul Gandhi is threatening Constitutional organisations... This is a huge conspiracy to weaken democracy...
"This is a very dangerous behaviour and approach. The opposition is running a malicious plan to discredit constitutional organisations. It is an attack on democracy...
Even the opposition party leaders have started to internally oppose Rahul Gandhi... People have started saying Rahul is playing a dirty game and wants to destroy the country's image...", Rijiju said.
The Election Commission on Friday issued a sharp rebuttal to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s explosive allegations of large-scale voter fraud, calling his claims “baseless” and “irresponsible.”
Responding to Gandhi’s charges, the poll body said,
“The Election Commission ignores such baseless allegations being made every day and, despite the threats being given every day, it asks all election officials who are working in a fair and transparent manner to not pay heed to such irresponsible statements.”
Rahul Gandhi, who is also the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, had earlier accused the ECI of being directly involved in vote theft.
Referring to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise conducted in Bihar, Rahul Gandhi alleged that the Commission's actions were aimed at benefiting the ruling BJP.
On opposition demanding a debate on SIR in the ongoing Parliament session, Rijiju said:
" I want to clarify that the government is ready to hold discussions on any issue as per rules. There cannot be a discussion on SIR because it is a process undertaken by a Constitutional body, and it is not happening for the first time...".
