Amidst Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s maiden speech in the 18th Lok Sabha, there was an uproar in the Lok Sabha. The uproar was first seen when Gandhi gestured to the Treasury Bench and said, “Those who call themselves Hindus talk of violence.
” Continuing his response to the resolution of thanks to the President’s address, he slammed the Center for not fulfilling the demands of farmers and the current uproar over NEET.
Earlier, opposition members walked out in the Lok Sabha demanding a one-day separate debate on the NEET exam paper leak issue after seeking a clear assurance from the government.
They walked out after Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that a separate debate cannot be held until the resolution of thanks to the President’s speech is finalised.
Several Indian MPs staged a protest at the Parliament premises to protest the government’s alleged misuse of investigative bodies to target opposition leaders.
In the Rajya Sabha, Congress President Mallikarjuna Kharge said that the last 10 years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rule was just a trailer and ‘Patam Abhi Baaki Hai’, and said that the NDA’s third term of exam paper leaks and terrorist attacks had happened.
Meanwhile, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankar said Kharke’s comments on Jammu and Kashmir, train accident, airport roof collapse, cave bridges and toll hike, RSS and education system will be deleted.
Earlier, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi during his speech in the Lok Sabha said, “Opposition is not your (government’s) enemy, we are here to make your work easier.”
For the second time in the new parliamentary session, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi has said that his mic has been switched off in the House.
Rahul made the claim during his first speech as the Leader of the Opposition on Monday, after his comment that the BJP promotes violence. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla said the presiding officers had no switch or remote control to turn off the microphones of members in the House.
