The Rajasthan Assembly descended into chaos on Friday when BJP MLA Gopal Sharma called Congress MLA Rafiq Khan a 'Pakistani.' The controversial comment sparked a heated exchange between party members, disrupting a session dedicated to discussing urban development grant demands.

Tensions escalated as Khan criticized Sharma's speech, particularly his allegations against senior Congress leaders.
