Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Friday termed the FIR registered against Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as highly unfortunate and motivated by political vendetta.
Addressing media persons in Dharamshala, the Chief Minister expressed solidarity with Rahul Gandhi and affirmed that the entire Congress party firmly stands by him.
Highlighting Rahul Gandhi’s commitment to the nation, Sukhu said that his selfless efforts through initiatives like the ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra,’ which was undertaken from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, were aimed at restoring democratic values and fostering harmony and brotherhood across the country. He said that Gandhi and the Congress party are unwavering in their belief in democracy. He termed the allegations against the leader as baseless and politically motivated.
Referring to the sacrifices made by Rahul Gandhi’s family, Sukhu said that former Prime Ministers Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi laid down their lives for the unity and integrity of the nation. He said that levelling such allegations against a family with a history of immense contributions to the country is regrettable and should not be used for political purposes.
