Ghaziabad, Aug 4 (NationPress) The Supreme Court has taken a strong stance against Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha (LoP) Rahul Gandhi, criticizing him for his purportedly controversial remarks regarding the Indian Army. Spiritual leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam remarked that the apex court has essentially reflected not just on Rahul Gandhi but on the entire Opposition.
“If China had indeed occupied Indian territory to such an extent, then the residence of Rahul Gandhi in Tughlaq Lane would fall within that area. I extend my sincere gratitude to the Government of India for allowing him a home in Tughlaq Lane. His speech resembles that of Tughlaq. The Supreme Court's recent observations serve as a vital reality check. The court's reprimand of Rahul Gandhi mirrors the condition of the entire Opposition,” Krishnam stated during an interview with IANS.
Moreover, Krishnam responded to the recent claim by Bihar Assembly Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav about his name being absent from the voter list. The Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) in Patna quickly requested Yadav to submit his EPIC card details for comprehensive verification.
Krishnam stated, “The Election Commission of India (ECI) operates without bias and is highly effective. The ECI's decisive action against Tejashwi Yadav's claims serves as a rebuke to the entire Opposition. Daily, the ECI faces unjust accusations — if a party wins, all is well; if it loses, the EVMs are blamed. Yet, these leaders owe their positions to certificates granted by the ECI.”
He continued emphatically, “If the Election Commission were indeed biased, then they should resign. Likewise, the governments in Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh should step down. Rahul Gandhi should also resign from the Lok Sabha.”
Krishnam also addressed the comments made by senior NCP (SP) leader Jitendra Awhad, who controversially stated that Sanatan Dharma has harmed India, a statement that prompted severe backlash from the BJP and its allies.
“Anyone may criticize Sanatan Dharma, but there has been a long-standing conspiracy to undermine it. It remains the only true religion globally. Despite attempts to obliterate it, Sanatan Dharma has endured and will continue to thrive,” Krishnam asserted.
In response to Congress MP P. Chidambaram's accusations about the ECI's voter roll activities, specifically regarding the inclusion of approximately 6.5 lakh migrant workers in Tamil Nadu's electoral list and the exclusion of 65 lakh voters from Bihar due to ‘permanent migration,’ Krishnam expressed strong disapproval.
“I must convey this to P. Chidambaram — if such rhetoric persists, this nation shall face destruction. You have already inflicted enough damage on India; kindly cease your attempts to ruin it further,” he concluded.
