Parliamentary proceedings took a dramatic turn on Thursday as Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla voiced concerns about an 'unexpected act' by Congress MPs targeting the Prime Minister's seat. Birla urged PM Modi to refrain from attending, citing potential disruptions that could undermine the country's democratic traditions.
In a fiery rebuttal, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra accused the Prime Minister of hiding behind the Speaker. She dismissed Birla's claims as baseless, insisting there was no plan to harm Modi. Her reaction followed contentious scenes in the Parliament where opposition MPs advanced towards the PM's seat.
The Speaker criticized the actions of some opposition members, likening them to a black spot on the House's history. Birla's warnings prompted an adjournment as oppositional protests escalated. Tensions remain high as both sides continue exchanging sharp accusations.
