Speaking at the Annual Legal Conclave 2025 in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi claimed Arun Jaitley warned him against opposing the laws. In a sharp response on X, Rohan Jaitley pointed out that his father passed away in 2019, a year before the farm laws were introduced. Rohan also urged Rahul Gandhi to be cautious while mentioning those no longer alive.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was fact-checked on Saturday, August 2, by Rohan Jaitley, son of late Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, after alleging that the BJP veteran had been “sent to threaten” him during the farm law protests. Speaking at the Annual Legal Conclave 2025 in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi claimed Arun Jaitley warned him against opposing the laws. In a sharp response on X, Rohan Jaitley pointed out that his father passed away in 2019, a year before the farm laws were introduced. "Rahul Gandhi now claims my late father, Arun Jaitley, threatened him over the farm laws. Let me remind him, my father passed away in 2019. The farm laws were introduced in 2020. More importantly, it was not in my father's nature to threaten anyone over an opposing view. He was a staunch democrat and always believed in building consensus. If at all such a situation was to occur, as it often does in politics, he would invite free and open discussions to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution to all. That was simply who he was and that remains his legacy today," Rohan Jaitley wrote. Rohan also urged Rahul Gandhi to be cautious while mentioning those no longer alive. "I would appreciate Rahul Gandhi being mindful while speaking of those not with us. He attempted something similar with Manohar Parrikar ji, politicising his final days, which was in equally poor taste," he added.
