Are Rahul Gandhi, Congress above SC: Ravi Shankar Prasad on Rafale row

Accusing Rahul Gandhi of making disgraceful remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Rafale deal, Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad asked whether he and the Congress party were above the Supreme Court.

“Today Rahul Gandhi has crossed all limits of propriety, decency and probity by almost condemning the honourable Supreme Court of India. It is a new low in the polity of the country,” Prasad said, soon after Rahul made a sharp attack on the Modi government over the Supreme Court order on Rafale deal.

“SC judgement (on Rafale deal) exposed lies of Rahul Gandhi. We expected him to accept the judgment. Now Rahul Gandhi is condoning SC as well. Are he and Congress above SC?” Prasad asked.
