Laws passed by MPs are 'illegal' if votes are stolen: Rahul Gandhi

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has claimed that laws passed by MPs are 'illegal' if the electoral process is compromised. He drew a parallel between electoral fraud and legislative validity, stating that stealing votes amounts to stealing laws.

Gandhi warned that undermining voter mandates directly erodes the legitimacy of Parliament itself, along with all legislation enacted within it. His remarks underscore the opposition's recurring charge that election integrity is fundamental to the authority of all democratic institutions.
