Cong Believes Nehru-Gandhi Family Is Above Law: Tejasvi Surya

Mumbai: BJP MP Tejasvi Surya has alleged that the Congress workers believe that the Nehru-Gandhi family is “above the law of the land”.

Surya, who is also the national president of the BJP youth wing, was talking to reporters when he reached the Bihar capital to attend a two-day convention of the party’s seven “fronts” over the weekend.

When asked about repeated summonses issued to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi in the National Herald case, Surya said, “The tamasha that Congress is playing on roads and railway tracks exposes her DNA. It believes that the Nehru Gandhi family is above the law of the land.”

The young MP from Bangalore was also asked about the recent busting of the Bihar network of Islamic extremist organization PFI, which is headquartered in Karnataka.

“Our governments, be it in Bihar or Karnataka, adopt a policy of zero tolerance towards organizations promoting radicalism and separatism,” replied the BJP leader, whose party shares power here and rules the southern state.

The Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leader, however, evaded a direct reply when asked whether he will raise in Parliament the demand for a ban on the PFI.

“We favour strict action against these organisations,” he added.
