“We should not forget that Rahul Gandhi is Indira Gandhi’s grandson and Rajiv Gandhi’s son. Both of them have sacrificed for the country. The country will never forgive this behaviour done to Rahul Gandhi. The way in which action is being taken against Rahul Gandhi and others who raise voice is against the democracy of the country,” he added.
