Congress MP's Motion Against PM Modi Faces Uncertainty

A Congress MP, Charanjit Singh Channi, filed a motion against PM Modi for sharing Anurag Thakur's expunged speech comments. Congress objected to Thakur's remarks on Rahul Gandhi's caste, but officials say only the term 'lie' was expunged, making the motion invalid. Speaker Om Birla will decide on the notice.

A Congress MP, Charanjit Singh Channi, has filed a notice to move a privilege motion against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The notice pertains to PM Modi sharing BJP MP Anurag Thakur's speech in the Lok Sabha, which allegedly contained expunged comments.

Official sources clarify that the Congress' primary objection centers around a remark made by Thakur questioning the caste identity of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi. However, Thakur's address did not specifically name anyone, and only his use of the word 'lie' was expunged, deeming the privilege motion potentially invalid.

Speaker Om Birla will review the notice and hold discussions with Channi if required. BJP sources argue that the motion is politically motivated, citing instances of Congress MPs, including Rahul Gandhi, sharing expunged speech portions.
