Anurag Thakur attacked Rahul
Union Minister Anurag Thakur also attacked Rahul Gandhi. He said, ‘India will not tolerate the insult of the backward. Rahul Gandhi repeatedly insulted the backward classes. The sad thing is that despite this, instead of apologizing, Rahul Gandhi worked to create pressure. No one went with him when he was three years old. In the past, Narasimha Rao ji, P Chidambaram, DK Shivakumar ji went to jail, but no one was seen with them then. Has a family become bigger than the Constitution, Parliament and the country?’

Law minister said – Rahul is trying to put pressure on the court
Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has targeted Rahul Gandhi. He tweeted, ‘Rahul Gandhi is going to Surat to file an appeal. There is no need to visit him personally for this. Usually none of the criminals go personally. His personal go-ahead is only a play, with an inspiring group of leaders and allies running alongside him. What Rahul Gandhi is doing is also a childish attempt to put pressure on the appellate court. All the courts of the country are untouched by such gimmicks.
Rahul Gandhi might be going to Surat to file an Appeal. It is not required of a convict to go personally to file an Appeal. Generally, no conviction goes personally. His going personally with a motley group of leaders and aides accompanying him is only a drama. (1/2)
