The controversial, IPL founder, Lalit Modi has launched an attack on Rahul Gandhi on Thursday. He added that he will take the Congress leader to court in the UK over his “Modi surname” remarks.
Interestingly, Lalit Modi’s attack comes days after Rahul Gandhi was convicted by a court in Gujarat for his remarks in 2019. The court gave a two-year sentence, following which he was disqualified as MP of Lok Sabha.
In 2019, while addressing a poll rally in Karnataka’s Kolar, Rahul Gandhi said, “How come all thieves have the common surname Modi.” However, Lalit Modi adds that he is angry about the remarks and allegations made by Rahul Gandhi. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi said that Lalit Modi was a “fugitive of Justice”
Lalit Modi raised questions on these remarks and allegations through a series of tweets on the Twitter. He asked on which grounds he was being called as a “fugitive”. He informed that he has never been convicted and hence is not a criminal.
In one of his tweets, he said, “I see just about every Tom dick and Gandhi associates again and again saying I am a fugitive of justice. why? How? And when was I to date ever convicted of same? Unlike Pappu aka Rahul Gandhi, I am now an ordinary citizen saying it and it seems one and all opposition leaders have nothing else to do so they too are either ill informed or just vendetta prone,” Lalit Modi tweeted.
Lalit Modi added, “I have decided to take Rahul Gandhi to court in UK right away. I am sure he will have to come up with some solid evidence. I look forward to seeing him make a complete fool of himself.”
Lalit Modi tagged several Congress leaders and alleged that all of them have properties overseas.
In another tweet, Lalit Modi said, “I can send addresses and photos etc. Lets not fool the people of India who are the real crooks. Gandhi family has made it as if they are the entitled ones to rule our country. Yes, i will return as soon as you pass stringent liable laws.”
“Not even a penny to date has been proven I took in last 15 years. But what is clearly proven is that I created the greatest sporting event in this world that has generated close to 100 billion dollars. Let not 1 one Congress leader forget that from early 1950’s the Modi family has done more for them and our country then they can ever imagine. I, too, have done more than they can ever dream of doing. So keep barking scam tainted looters of India like the very own Gandhi family,” he added.
In another tweet, Lalit Modi tagged PM Modi on Twitter and said, “Rahul Gandhi says ‘All Modis are thieves. Well, he will be taken to court in the UK by me. But reality is that the world knows five decades of daylight looting of India was done by none other than the Gandhi family.”
