New Delhi: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Friday leveled serious allegations against the central government. He claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is having his phone tapped. He also challenged the Prime Minister to a face-to-face, open debate with him.
The Congress party shared a video of Rahul Gandhi on the social media platform X. In it, Rahul Gandhi said, “The Prime Minister knows about this because he has my phone tapped. The day he agrees to a face-to-face debate, everyone will know who is under the control of foreign power, who is anti-national, and how long he has been involved in such activities.”
मोदी जी, अपने ही गोदी मीडिया के दिवाली मिलन में भी टेलीप्रॉम्प्टर?
लोग आपके, मंच आपका, माहौल आपका – फिर भी स्क्रिप्ट चाहिए थी। लगता है दबाव में घबरा गए हैं।
ख़ैर, कोई बात नहीं। मुझसे बहस में भी टेलीप्रॉम्प्टर ले आइए, जज भी अपनी पसंद का बैठा लीजिए।
बस आइए तो सही। देश जानना चाहता है – असली देशद्रोही कौन है?

Rahul said, “The evidence exists on my phone
Rahul Gandhi claimed that evidence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi being under the control of foreign power already exists on his phone. He said that the Prime Minister also knows what evidence he has.
Rahul Gandhi said, “The day the Prime Minister comes for an open debate, everyone will know who is under the control of foreign forces, who is anti-national, and how long they have been doing this. There’s also a lot of information I know about and which is available on my phone.”
Rahul Gandhi again challenges for an open debate
Rahul Gandhi has challenged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to an open debate several times before. He has also raised this issue on the social media platform X and appealed to Union ministers to persuade the Prime Minister to debate.
Reiterating his challenge, Rahul Gandhi said that the Prime Minister should debate with him on the issue of who is anti-national and who is working under the control of foreign forces.
He said, “My challenge remains. The Prime Minister should debate with me on who is anti-national and who is under the control of foreign forces. Anytime, anywhere, and at any place.”
Amit Shah challenged to discuss the issue in Parliament
Earlier, on November 6, Rahul Gandhi had said that he was ready for an open debate on any platform, at any time, and in any place.
He also addressed Union Home Minister Amit Shah through a post on X. In fact, Amit Shah accepted Rahul Gandhi’s challenge and advised him to discuss the issue in Parliament. Shah stated that Parliament is the appropriate forum for discussion on this topic.
The Home Minister also stated that if the Congress formally demands it, the central government is ready to convene a special session of Parliament to discuss the issue.
Rahul Gandhi’s statements come amid a growing political conflict between the BJP and opposition parties over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list. On Thursday, Amit Shah accepted Rahul Gandhi’s challenge for an open debate and challenged him to raise the issue in Parliament.
