Chaos in Lok Sabha: Uproar Over Gandhi Family Remarks

The Lok Sabha witnessed adjournments due to uproar over BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's remarks targeting the Gandhi family. Proceedings were disrupted as opposition protested related issues, including an unpublished memoir about former Army chief M M Naravane. Speaker Tenneti cited Rule 349 to disallow such remarks, leading to further adjournments.

The Lok Sabha was adjourned multiple times on Wednesday following disruptions caused by remarks from BJP MP Nishikant Dubey targeting the Gandhi family. The commotion began when Dubey attempted to showcase a series of books addressing the Gandhis, prompting the chair to cite procedural rules to halt such commentary.

Opposition members vocally protested these remarks and raised issues relating to the unpublished memoir of former Army Chief M M Naravane, which has become a point of contention. Speaker Tenneti enforced Rule 349, preventing members from reading from external books or letters unrelated to parliamentary business.

This uproar is part of ongoing tensions, including objections over a 2020 Indo-China conflict. On Tuesday, suspension of opposition members occurred due to unruly behavior, highlighting the current climate of discord within the house.
