Unprecedented Silence in Parliament: Tharoor Questions Denial of Gandhi’s Speech

Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has raised concerns over what he describes as the denial of Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi's right to speak in the Lok Sabha, labeling the situation as 'absolutely bizarre'.

Tharoor was set to initiate the discussion on the Union Budget but allowed Gandhi to voice his concerns first. Both their microphones were subsequently cut, leading to questions about parliamentary conduct and the government's intentions.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned amid disagreements between the government and opposition over Gandhi's speech, highlighting a breach in tradition and a call for fair debate in the House.
