Event Summary

Rahul Gandhi, a leader of the India — Indian National Congress, claimed that former Union minister Arun Jaitley had threatened him during the farm laws protest. This claim was made at the Congress' annual legal conclave on August 2. The India — Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Arun Jaitley's son, Rohan Jaitley, swiftly refuted these claims, labeling them as 'fake news'. They pointed out that Arun Jaitley passed away in 2019, while the farm laws were introduced in 2020, making the alleged threat impossible. Amit Malviya, head of the BJP IT cell, and Rohan Jaitley both used social media to provide factual timelines and defend Arun Jaitley's character, stating he was a staunch democrat who believed in consensus, not threats. Naresh Gujral of India — Shiromani Akali Dal also expressed shock and defended Arun Jaitley.
