Kerala Left MLA seeks Rahul Gandhi’s DNA test, asks how is he Nehru scion
Anvar’s remark on Rahul’s DNA sparks row
The war of words between LDF and UDF leaders during the election campaign touched a new low with LDF MLA from Nilambur-- which is part of the Wayanad LS constituency--P V Anvar saying that Rahul Gandhi’s DNA should be tested, questioning whether a person like him can be born in the Nehru family.
He made the remarks at an LDF rally held at Edathanattukara in Palakkad constituency on Tuesday, which drew strong criticism from Congress, saying that Anvar has been carrying out the vicious attack at the behest of chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan. “Rahul Gandhi has no right to use the Gandhi surname. He has reached the level of a fourth-class citizen. Can such a person be born in the Nehru family? I have doubts about it. His DNA should be examined,” he said.
Anvar made the remarks over the recent criticisms levelled by Rahul against Vijayan, asking why the Central agencies were not taking action against him when two chief ministers were in jail. “How can a person with the genetics of the Nehru family say that?” Anvar said.
Meanwhile, Anvar stood firm on the remarks and said people did not expect such remarks from a person hailing from the Nehru family.
“Amidst nationwide discussions about the arrest and imprisonment of prominent leaders and opposition MPs based on unfounded cases, and amidst strong protests by the INDIA alliance against it, the people of Kerala know how to assess the statements made by (Rahul), questioning why the Kerala CM has not been targeted by central agencies for arrest,” Anvar said. He added that Rahul Gandhi has proved that he has no right to use the Nehru family’s name.
