Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of delivering a speech 'full of lies' during a recent Lok Sabha session. He revealed plans to request the removal of these comments from the House's official record.

Gandhi, who had spoken critically during a budget debate, promised to authenticate his claims. However, Rijiju insisted that Gandhi's statements were baseless and that he frequently makes allegations without substantiation.
