Govind Singh Dotasra calls Rahul Gandhi being stopped by police at the Ghazipur border a “conspiracy”
Jaipur: On Thursday, Rajasthan Congress President Govind Singh Dotasra called the police halt of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi at the Ghazipur border on Wednesday when he was trying to go to the violent Sambhal area in Uttar Pradesh a “conspiracy.”
“As part of a plot, Rahul Gandhi was halted. Only 44% of the vote was needed to constitute the NDA administration. That indicates that 56% oppose them. The representative of 56% of the nation’s people has a constitutional position, while the LoP speaks for the whole opposition. How was Rahul Gandhi stopped, why was he stopped, and what is the procedure if he is heading there? He said that the plot to keep Rahul Gandhi from leaving was well thought out.
He said that because Rahul Gandhi occupies a constitutional position, it is against his “constitutional right” to stop him.
“This act is abhorrent…According to Rahul Gandhi, he would visit the victim’s family but go alone. He has a constitutional right to that. Rahul Gandhi is not an ordinary person. He has a constitutional position and is the LoP. “No law can stop him,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) earlier on Wednesday after being halted at the Ghazipur border in Ghaziabad while traveling to Sambhal, which is rife with violence.
The Congress MP said that it was his constitutional obligation to visit Sambhal and called the limitations imposed on him unlawful.
Rahul Gandhi stated in Hindi in a post, X: “We were prevented from traveling to Sambhal by the police. It is my responsibility and right as the Leader of the Opposition to go there. But I was stopped. Even going alone, which I am eager to do, was prohibited. The Constitution is violated by this. The BJP is scared, but why? Why is it hiding its shortcomings with the police? Why is it stifling the message of brotherhood and truth?
A video of the congressman’s encounter with a police officer was also posted.
On November 24, as the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) was inspecting a mosque from the Mughal period, violence broke out in Sambhal. Four people were killed and other police officers and residents were injured in the skirmishes.
A petition in a local court asserting that the mosque was first constructed on the location of a Harihar temple served as the impetus for the ASI assessment.
