| In an all-out attack, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today said the National Herald case is "pure political vendetta coming out of the PM's office." Mr Gandhi and his mother and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi have to appear in court in the case
1The ruling BJP immediately hit back, with its Rajiv Pratap Rudy saying, "Rahul Gandhi doesn't have the courage to face Parliament with proof to refute the charges against him. As an accused, he is nervous."
2"One hundred per cent political vendetta. This is pure political vendetta coming out of the PM's office. It is their way of doing politics... I have full faith in the legal system," Mr Gandhi said outside Parliament, which saw repeated disruptions forced by protesting members of his party.
3"We all know who is threatening the judiciary," Mr Gandhi also said in response to union minister M Venkaiah Nadiu's allegation in the Lok Sabha that the Congress is "threatening the judiciary through Parliament."
4Mr Naidu censured the Congress for holding up Parliament proceedings with its protests over the court summons to the Gandhis. "They are obstructing the progress of the country," he said and sought to emphasise that the government has no role to play in the case. "The government has nothing to do with it. It was a court order," he said.
5Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge raised the issue in the house, accusing the government of "intimidating the opposition. "We are not against the judiciary. We are protesting against your intent to oppress," said Mr Kharge.
6"This is happening to the entire Opposition. If someone doesn't agree with you, you are trying to harass them," the Congress leader added.
