In a blistering attack, Union Minister Giriraj Singh targeted Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of acting like an 'urban naxal' and comparing him to the last Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar.
Singh's comments came while speaking to reporters inside the Parliament complex. He alleged that Gandhi has consistently avoided participating in crucial debates and votes in the House, noting discussions concerning the West Asia conflict and a recent no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla as examples.
The confrontation reflects the charged atmosphere in Parliament, with ruling BJP accusing the opposition of stalling proceedings amidst demands for debates, notably concerning the West Asia situation.
