Lok Sabha Sparks Furore Over Sambit Patra's Remarks on Rahul Gandhi

The Lok Sabha witnessed heated exchanges as Congress members protested BJP's Sambit Patra's remarks on Rahul Gandhi. Despite withdrawal of the comment, continued protests led to brief adjournment of proceedings. Speaker Om Birla called for decorum and reminded members to focus on government policies rather than personal attacks.

Noisy protests erupted in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday when Congress members reacted to a statement by BJP member Sambit Patra concerning Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition.

Even after Patra retracted his remarks, the Congress members' agitation continued, forcing Speaker Om Birla to intervene and call for order in the House.

The session was temporarily paused, and further discussions underscored the need for focusing on policy debates over personal jabs.
