RAHUL GANDHI JOINS MINISTERS’ BRIEFING OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT, THEY WALK OFF - AWKWARD MOMENT CAUGHT ON CAMERA
A brief dramatic moment unfolded at the Parliament premises when Congress MP Rahul Gandhi walked up to Union ministers who were addressing reporters. As cameras rolled, Gandhi was heard saying, "Come, let’s do it together... Let's stand together" and appeared to reach out toward one of the ministers. Gandhi's move prompted the ministers to walk away. The video of the exchange is circulating widely on social media platforms.
The video shows Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi making his way to where Union Ministers Pralhad Joshi and Ashwini Vaishnaw were speaking to reporters on Wednesday. As Rahul Gandhi approaches the ministers, he says, "I'll also come and say hello."
"Come, let's stand together, let's do it together," Gandhi tells the ministers as his sister and fellow MP Priyanka Gandhi smiles in the background. Gandhi then tries to hold Prahlad Joshi's arm, and the BJP minister walks away
The ministers were reportedly addressing the media over Rahul Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha, saying that the Leader of Opposition should have "authenticated facts" before making allegations on the historic India-US trade deal, the Epstein files and other issues.
Rahul Gandhi had mounted a no-holds-barred attack on the central government on Wednesday while participating in the debate on the Union Budget in the Lok Sabha. Gandhi claimed that Indian interests had been "surrendered" under the trade deal to protect the BJP's financial architecture.
Criticising the Indo-US deal, Gandhi drew an analogy of how in martial arts after securing a grip, the next step is a chokehold, and then the opponent taps to give up. Gandhi underlined the need to protect the country's people, data, food supply and energy system.
He said that had an INDIA bloc government negotiated the trade agreement with the US, it would have told President Donald Trump that he must treat India "equally" and not like "servants".
