Gandhi siblings vs Pralhad Joshi: 'Defender of rapists' charge meets 'authenticate it' challenge

Congress leaders Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Rahul Gandhi criticised the Prime Minister's choice for education minister. They alleged the minister expressed happiness over the release of convicted rapists. This accusation stems from remarks made regarding the Bilkis Bano case convicts. The opposition leaders demanded substantiation of these serious allegations. The Union minister denied the claims and sought an apology from the Congress MP.
