NEW DELHI, Nov 13: Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had his phone tapped as it contained evidence and information supporting all his allegations.
Speaking during an Instagram question-and-answer session, Gandhi said the Prime Minister knew about the material on his phone because it was being tapped.
“The evidence for all my allegations is in my phone. The Prime Minister knows it because he has had my phone tapped,” Gandhi said.
Gandhi again challenged Modi to a face-to-face public debate. He said such a debate would make clear who was acting at the behest of foreign powers and who was involved in anti-national activities.
He also alleged that he was not allowed to speak in Parliament on issues including the farm laws, vote theft, the Special Revision (SIR), China and General M M Naravane’s book. Gandhi said he wanted a direct debate with the Prime Minister instead of making a long speech in Parliament.
BJP leaders have maintained that Parliament is the appropriate forum for a debate. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also reacted to Gandhi’s challenge for a debate.
