Congress says FIR against Rahul Gandhi for ‘defending Ambedkar’s legacy’: ‘Badge of honour’ | Read

New Delhi: The Congress on Friday said that the first information report (FIR) against Rahul Gandhi in connection with the scuffle in Parliament is nothing but “a diversionary tactic” in response to his staunch protest against the Union home minister Amit Shah’s remarks on BR Ambedkar.

In a post on X, Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal said that a case against Rahul Gandhi for defending Babasaheb’s legacy is a “badge of honour”.

“The FIR against Shri Rahul Gandhi ji is nothing but a diversionary tactic in response to his staunch protest against the Home Minister.” Venugopal wrote in the post.

“A case against him for defending Babasaheb’s legacy is a badge of honour. And in any case, Rahul ji is already facing 26 FIRs due to the BJP’s political vendetta and this latest FIR will not stop him or the Congress from standing up against the casteist RSS-BJP regime.”

Further, he also questioned that while the Delhi Police has filed the FIR based on a complaint by MPs of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), no such step has been taken on the complaint filed by the women MPs of the Congress.
