Rahul Gandhi attacks Ravi Shankar Prasad for 'peddling fake news'

New Delhi, Mar 24 (IBNS): Congress President Rahul Gandhi has attacked Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad for not paying attention to the appointment of judges in the courts but peddling fake news.

In a tweet, Rahul stated how cases in all the courts are pending.

He took on the law minister for the non-appointment of the judges.

The Congress chief's tweet reads, "Legal system collapsing under Pending Cases: Supreme Court 55,000 + High Court 37 Lakh + Lower Courts 2.6 Crore + Yet, a staggering 400 High Court and 6,000 Lower Court judges not appointed, while Law Minister preoccupied peddling fake news."

Prasad had recently attacked Rahul over the controversy surrounding Cambridge Analytica, where the BJP alleged that there was a link between the Congress party and Cambridge Analytica to influence India's electoral process through undesirable means.

"What link does Cambridge Analytica have with social media management of Rahul Gandhi and Congress Party?," he said.

Countering Prasad, Congress President Rahul Gandhi has accused the central government of diverting the people's attention from the news of death of 39 Indians in Mosul as it has allegedly been caught lying.
