Rahul Gandhi's Statement Earlier in the day, while addressing the Annual Legal Conclave 2025, Rahul Gandhi, during his speech, said, "I remember when I was fighting the farm laws, Arun Jaitley was sent to me to threaten me. He told me, 'If you carry on opposing the government, fighting the farm laws, we will have to act against you.' I looked at him and said 'I don't think you have an idea who you are talking to.'" Rohan Jaitley Fact-Checks Rahul Gandhi Contesting Rahul Gandhi's claims, Rohan Jaitley, DDCA chief and son of Arun Jaitley, stated in a post on X, "Rahul Gandhi now claims my late father, Arun Jaitley, threatened him over the farm laws. Let me remind him that my father passed away in 2019. The farm laws were introduced in 2020." "More importantly, it was not in my father's nature to threaten anyone over an opposing view. He was a staunch democrat and always believed in building consensus," he further wrote. "If at all such a situation was to occur, as it often does in politics, he would invite free and open discussions to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution to all. That was simply who he was and that remains his legacy today. I would appreciate Rahul Gandhi being mindful while speaking of those not with us. He attempted something similar with Manohar Parrikar ji, politicising his final days, which was in equally poor taste. Let the departed Rest in Peace," Rohan Jaitley's X post added.
