Rahul using his constitutional position to protect family crimes: BJP

The BJP on Saturday accused Rahul Gandhi of misusing his constitutional position of the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha to "protect" his family's crimes. The party made the allegations as part of its continued targeting of the Congress leader's defence of his brother-in-law, Robert Vadra, who has been charged by the ED with money laundering.
Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, BJP national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi claimed that the opposition INDIA bloc is beset with internal conflict and faces disintegration ahead of Parliament's Monsoon Session beginning Monday.
Noting that Gandhi addressed Vadra as his "brother-in-law" in an X post, accusing the government of a "witch hunt" against him, the BJP MP said it is clearly a family, and not a political issue, for the Congress leader. Gandhi has come out to protect Vadra's properties collected through corruption, he alleged, noting that the Congress leader is himself on bail in a corruption case. Trivedi wondered if Gandhi posted the message in his personal capacity or as the Leader of Opposition, and said, "He has misused his constitutional position to protect his family crimes." He accused the Congress's "first family" of seeking power and money even if it means dividing society in the name of region or language.Trivedi wondered if Gandhi posted the message in his personal capacity or as the Leader of Opposition. 
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday termed the ED charge sheet against Robert Vadra as an attempt to bring bad name to him and the Gandhi family, and to target the Congress party. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday filed a charge sheet against Robert Vadra, the businessman husband of Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, in a money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in a land deal in Haryana's Shikohpur
