Rahul Gandhi's Fiery BJP Attack Sparks Parliamentary Uproar

Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi fiercely criticized the ruling BJP in the Lok Sabha, accusing it of continuous violence and hate. The statement triggered backlash from BJP MPs and a heated exchange followed. Other points of contention included new criminal laws and the Agnipath military scheme.

Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi launched a searing critique against the BJP in the Lok Sabha on Monday, accusing the ruling party of engaging in 'violence and hate' round the clock. The remarks provoked strong protests from BJP members, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi countering that Gandhi had branded the entire Hindu community as violent.

In a day filled with legislative drama, Gandhi also questioned Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla's impartiality, noting he bowed to Prime Minister Modi while shaking hands. Birla defended himself, asserting he follows traditional protocols.

The session saw various other confrontations, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's rebuttal of Gandhi's critique of the Agnipath scheme and Home Minister Amit Shah's response to Gandhi's claims regarding the new criminal justice laws.
