Malviya said any discussion, whether in support or opposition of the Bill, began after “these developments.””To suggest Arun Jaitley ji approached him for anything at all is factually incorrect and misleading,” Malviya said, adding, “Let’s stick to facts and not rewrite timelines to suit narratives.”The BJP leader also posted a video clip of the remarks Gandhi made at the conclave.Arun Jaitley’s son Rohan Jaitley also took to X and slammed Gandhi over his remarks, asking the Congress leader to “let the departed Rest in Peace.””Rahul Gandhi now claims my late father, Arun Jaitley, threatened him over the farm laws. Let me remind him, my father passed away in 2019. The farm laws were introduced in 2020,” he said.”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,” Rohan Jaitley added.”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,” he added.
