Sonia, Rahul should be tried for treason: Rajyavardhan

Demanding that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi should be tried for treason, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Thursday claimed that Congress Parliamentary party chief and Wayanad MP met with members of the Communist Party of China in 2008 in Beijing. Speaking in the Lok Sabha on Thursday over a no-confidence motion against the NDA government, Rathore said that the Congress leaders met the Communist Party of China in 2008 when the BJP MP was in Beijing during the Olympics. “I was at the 2008 Beijing Olympics (in China). We came to know that Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi are coming to meet us. They didn’t come to meet us. They met the Communist Party of China. They should be tried for treason,” Rathore said. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday took a dig at opposition parties, saying it is blessing of God that opposition have brought a no-confidence motion against his government and that NDA and BJP will come back with a grand victory, breaking all previous records in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
