A major political controversy has erupted following a claim by Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, that he was threatened by the late Union Minister Arun Jaitley over his opposition to the farm laws. Rahul Gandhi stated, "Arun Jaitley was sent to me to threaten me and he said you know if you carry on down this path opposing the government fighting us on the farm laws we will have to act against you." Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has refuted this claim, pointing out a discrepancy in the timeline. Rijiju stated that Arun Jaitley passed away in August 2019, whereas the farm bills were introduced in 2020, questioning how such a meeting could have taken place. The Bharatiya Janata Party has accused Rahul Gandhi of peddling lies, while the Congress party has defended him, suggesting it might have been a slip of the tongue and that the reference could have been to the Land Acquisition Bill.
