Epstein Files Row: Rahul Gandhi’s Allegations Trigger Major Political Debate
Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi’s accusation against Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sparked a major political debate in India.
According to him, Modi has compromised on national interests in a recent India-US trade deal. This affected farmers’ interests as well.
According to the opposition leader, the deal was finalized in a short period after months of delay, and the reasons are known only to the government.
Responding to the criticism, the government said that farmers’ interests have not been overlooked, and that trade negotiations involve mutual compromise from both sides.
The government says that India’s interests are protected. It also says it ensures transparency in Parliament.
The matter disrupted parliament after Rahul Gandhi was barred from citing some material. That material was from the unpublished memoir of former Army chief M. M. Naravane.
This episode highlighted the differing views on trade policies and the needs of Indian farmers.
Rahul Gandhi’s Link to the Epstein File
The Epstein files contain released documents about the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
Rahul Gandhi’s name did appear in the three documents in news articles, but those were forwarded by Epstein to others. It shows no such evidence of personal connection.
Why Kangana Ranaut commented on Rahul Gandhi over Epstein Files
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has condemned Rahul Gandhi for bringing up the Epstein files, calling his remarks baseless.
She accused him of tarnishing India’s image and raised suspicion about his intent behind politicising such sensitive international matters.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's name is mentioned in the Epstein Files.
Mentioning Rahul Gandhi’s name in the Epstein files does not find him guilty, as there is no official confirmation or proof.
The claims circulating online are speculation, since there is no direct link from any authority to Congress leaders or the documents.
Rahul Gandhi Alleges PM Modi Silencing Parliamentary Debate
Rahul Gandhi alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was preventing an open discussion in Parliament on the Epstein files and the trade deal.
He said he was stopped from mentioning certain material during the debate, a claim the government has denied.
Epstein to India-US trade deal
Jefferey Epstein was a rich American businessman. He was convicted of sex crimes and passed away in prison in 2019.
Recently, U.S. authorities released the documents related to his network.
Now, as per claims by political leader Rahul Gandhi, the unreleased information from the Epstein files linked to corruption charges against Indian entrepreneur Gautam Adani in the U.S. appears to be putting pressure on PM Modi.
Gandhi further alleges that such pressure forced Modi to compromise in India-US trade negotiations. He also claims Modi is trying to avoid the issue in Parliament.
Responding to his alleged claims, the BJP said there is no proof that states the effect of the Epstein files on India's trade talks with the U.S.
