The Lok Sabha witnessed a fiery debate on Tuesday as Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi emphasized Rahul Gandhi's unwavering commitment to speaking the truth, even under immense pressure from the ruling party. During the no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla, tensions ran high.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju countered the Opposition's allegations, accusing them of restlessness and subverting the people’s choice. Rijiju took a dig at the Opposition, remarking that claiming superiority over the Speaker suggested contempt for parliamentary protocol.
Congress MP Mohammad Jawed initiated the no-confidence motion, supported by over 50 MPs. The Speaker, accused of 'partisan' behavior, has allocated ten hours for debate amid allegations of obstruction against Rahul Gandhi. The session's intensity highlighted deep-seated suspicions within the parliament.
