Rahul Gandhi’s claim that Arun Jaitley threatened him over farm laws has sparked controversy, drawing strong condemnation from BJP leaders and Jaitley’s son, Rohan. They refuted the claim, citing Jaitley’s death in 2019, before the laws were introduced. Critics accuse Gandhi of making baseless allegations and disrespecting the deceased leader.

Back home in Katthigorah in Cachar district of Assam, his wife, Sufiana Begum, told News18 how they got worried after not finding Hussain at airport when they went to receive him.

Criticising Rahul Gandhi’s “hateful mentality,” senior BJP ministers pointed out that Jaitley passed away in August 2019 — a year before the farm laws were introduced in 2020.
