The senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said he is not afraid of the BJP and will continue to ask questions on the relationship between the prime minister Narendra Modi and businessman Gautam Adani in his first press conference after his expulsion from Lok Sabha.
Gandhi said that Adani has shell companies and someone invested 20,000 crore in those companies. Who gave the money? This money doesn't belong to Adani. I also showed a picture of PM Modi and Adani. My speech was expunged. I wrote a letter to the speaker. But nothing was done, he said.
He denied the allegations of the BJP that he had sought the intervention of international forces in the domestic affairs of the country.
I wrote a detailed reply to the Lok Sabha Speaker after my speech was expunged in Parliament. Some ministers lied about me, that I sought help from foreign powers. I have done no such thing. He said that I will not stop asking questions, I will keep questioning the relationship between PM Modi and Adani.
These people haven't understood me yet. He said that PM Modi's relationship with Gautam Adani dates back to when he was chief minister of Gujarat.
I am here to defend the democratic rights of the people. I am not afraid of them. This is not in my history. I will continue to ask what is the relationship between Adani and Modi, Gandhi said.
He said that the Prime Minister is scared of my next speech on Adani, and I have seen it in his eyes. That is why, first, is the distraction and then the disqualification.
Rahul Gandhi, who came to the AICC headquarters in Delhi with his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, said he is not afraid if BJP disqualifies him permanently. I will keep doing my work. It does not matter if I am inside the Parliament or not. I will keep fighting for the country. I have said many times before that democracy is being attacked in the country. We are seeing examples of this every day. He asked questions in the Parliament about the relationship between PM Modi and Adani.
