New Delhi: A day after her brother Rahul Gandhi was acquitted by a court in Uttar Pradesh in a defamation case, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday said it takes immense courage, tenacity and the perseverance of a true warrior to stand against an “onslaught of lies”, the way he has.
Priyanka Gandhi’s response came to her brother’s post on X in which he just wrote ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’, a day after he was acquitted by the MP-MLA court in Sultanpur in the defamation case related to his remarks against the then BJP president Amit Shah in 2018.
‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ is a Sanskrit phrase that translates to ‘truth, goodness (auspiciousness), and beauty’.
In her post on X, Priyanka Gandhi said truth can never be suppressed for long.
“This government has spent unprecedented resources on a filthy campaign to malign my brother, to defame him and slap bogus cases on him simply for fearlessly telling the truth. It takes immense courage, tenacity and the perseverance of a true warrior to stand against an onslaught of lies, the way he has,” she said.
“One by one the chips will fall. The truth will emerge clear and strong. This is just the beginning,” Priyanka Gandhi said.
After Gandhi’s acquittal, the Congress on Monday launched a scathing attack on the BJP and alleged that it is a party “run by criminals”.
The opposition party vowed to fight on Gandhian lines and defeat the BJP with love, compassion and perseverance.
