Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi has alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is having his phone tapped, claiming that it contains evidence to back all his allegations against the government.
He also said a proposed one-on-one debate with PM Modi would expose who was controlled by foreign powers and who was actually anti-national.
During an ‘Ask Me’ session on Instagram, the Congress leader reiterated his challenge to the Prime Minister for a direct public debate and claimed that he had information on several issues that he wanted to put before the country.
“The proof of all my allegations is in my phone which is tapped by the Prime Minister,” Rahul said.
He added that a one-on-one debate would bring out several details, including allegations of foreign influence and questions over the national loyalties of those involved.
“The one on one debate will prove who is controlled by foreign powers, who is an anti-national, since when he’s been an anti-national and lots of other details that I know and are on my phone,” he said.
Rahul Gandhi’s Challenge To PM Modi
Rahul’s latest remarks come amid an escalating political exchange between the Congress and the BJP over allegations of foreign influence and national security.
The Congress leader has repeatedly challenged PM Modi to an open debate, arguing that allegations against him and the Opposition should be discussed in a public forum.
In an earlier video message, Rahul had asked the Prime Minister to choose the venue and even the person who would moderate or judge the proposed debate. In a veiled swipe, he had suggested that RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat or industrialist Gautam Adani could be considered for the role.
He also wanted the discussion to cover India’s financial system, the US trade deal, the Adani case and the Jeffrey Epstein controversy.
The challenge followed PM Modi’s remarks accusing ideological supporters of Naxalism, whom he called ‘Dimagi Naxals’, of infiltrating political parties and institutions.
The BJP has dismissed Rahul’s repeated calls for a debate, with Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Amit Shah arguing that Parliament already provides a platform for such discussions. Shah has challenged the Congress leader to raise his allegations in the House.
