Rahul Gandhi CLAIMS Late Arun Jaitley THREATENED Him Over Farm Laws | BJP Calls It 'FAKE NEWS'

At the 2025 Annual Legal Conclave, Rahul Gandhi alleged that late BJP leader Arun Jaitley had threatened him over his opposition to the now-repealed farm laws. The claim drew a sharp rebuttal from Jaitley’s son, Rohan, who pointed out his father had passed away before the farm law protests began. The BJP dismissed Gandhi's statement as "fake news." The exchange reignites tensions around the contentious legislation and raises questions over political memory, timelines, and accountability. #RahulGandhi #ArunJaitley #FarmLaws #RohanJaitley #Congress #BJP #FakeNews #FarmLawProtests #AnnualLegalConclave #IndianPolitics #PoliticalControversy #LokSabha #Opposition #RahulVsBJP #FarmersProtest #IndiaNews #BreakingNews #Parliament #JaitleyLegacy #PoliticalDrama #RahulSpeech #BJPVsCongress #FactCheck #JaitleyResponse #PoliticalTimeline #IndiaDebates #LegalConclave2025 #ViralVideo #ANIClip #JaitleyStatement Also Read Rahul Gandhi Doubles Down on Rigging Allegations, Says Election Process Is Over :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-doubles-down-on-rigging-allegations-says-election-process-is-over-011-7818825.html?ref=DMDesc EC Involved In Vote Theft, I've 100% Proof: Rahul Gandhi's Big Allegation :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/ec-involved-in-vote-theft-ive-100-proof-rahul-gandhis-big-allegation-7817813.html?ref=DMDesc Congress to Expose Alleged Voter Roll Rigging by Karnataka Election Commission on August 5 :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/expose-rigging-of-voter-rolls-karnataka-election-commission-011-7817523.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.194~GR.125~
