War of Words in Lok Sabha as Priyanka Counters Rijiju’s Attack on Rahul | Speaker Row Debate

A sharp exchange unfolded in the Lok Sabha during the debate on the motion seeking the removal of Speaker Om Birla, with Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Rijiju criticised Rahul Gandhi’s role in Parliament and, in a remark that drew reactions from the Opposition benches, praised Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra while suggesting the Opposition could have chosen someone else as Leader of Opposition. Priyanka Gandhi later responded in the House, saying she had been smiling because Rijiju used the example of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to make his argument. Taking a swipe at the ruling benches, she said the real problem for them was Rahul Gandhi’s honesty, which she argued “does not sit well with them.” Her remarks triggered loud reactions in the House as the debate over the Speaker removal motion continued.
