New Delhi: The BJP on Tuesday asked Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi to stop levelling false allegations that he was not allowed to speak in the House, and said he must follow the rules and the procedures of Parliament if he wants to exercise his right to speak.
Senior BJP leader and Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju slammed Congress MPs for their unruly behaviour in the Lower House, saying Parliament is not a place where members can throw papers at the Chair and “dance” by climbing on the desk.
The government-opposition faceoff in the Lok Sabha intensified on Tuesday as eight protesting MPs were suspended for “unruly behaviour” after Rahul Gandhi was disallowed for the second day from quoting an article that cited an unpublished “memoir” of former Army chief M M Naravane on the 2020 India-China conflict.
