A day after facing a sharp attack by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj in Lok Sabha, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday hit back at the government, accusing it of defending former Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi's black money nexus.
The Gandhi scion further targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying, "Maine inse chunaav haara, par lagaa bande mein dum hai…lekin ab lagta hai bande mein damm nahi hai."
He also questioned the silence and absence of Prime Minister Modi in Parliament over the Lalit Modi controversy.
Referring the IPL scam involving Lalit Modi, the Congress leader said, "In IPL, there are two networks. One is what the youth sees on field, and the other is the Lalit Modi’s network of black money."
He further said that the Lalit Modi was "a link between black money and the political system", adding that the "Congress will compel the Prime Minister to bring Lalit Modi back".
Rahul Gandhi also trained his guns on the RSS, saying, "I am here to defend this country from RSS. I am here to defend this country from Narendra Modi."
Referring to Sushma Swaraj raking up Bofors and Quattrocchi in Lok Sabha on Wednesday, the Gandhi scion claimed that the Indian judicial system had termed the whole issue a campaign against former prime minister and his father Rajiv Gandhi.
"Judicial system of India has given a statement saying this was a campaign against Rajiv Gandhi. There's nothing in this," said Rahul Gandhi.
