NEW DELHI, Nov 13: The opposition leader in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, accused PM Narendra Modi on Friday of tapping his mobile phone, saying that it contained evidence of foreign interference. In a video posted on X by the Congress party, Gandhi reiterated his call for a faceoff with PM Modi, adding that he was game for it "anytime, anywhere".
Gandhi stated that the PM must be aware of what he is saying as Modi's own phone connection is under scrutiny.
Making the claim, he said, "The Prime Minister knows this because my phone is tapped. As soon as he agrees for an open debate, everyone will know how many foreigners are controlling anti-national activities,"
Reaffirming his demand for an open debate, he said, "Let him show me who is an anti-national and who is under foreign control. In any case, anytime, anywhere."
Gandhi's comments mark an escalation of the ongoing political tussle between the ruling BJP and the opposition parties regarding the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls (SIR).
