In a heated parliamentary exchange, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized Union Minister Kiren Rijiju for quoting former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. This came during a debate surrounding a resolution to remove Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, sparking discussions about political strategy and historical references.

Gandhi pointed out the irony in Rijiju's citation of Nehru, given the continuous criticism the BJP has directed towards India's first Prime Minister. Questions arose about the ruling party's sincerity and whether such historical references were being employed strategically.

Amidst this tension, Priyanka Gandhi defended her brother, Rahul Gandhi, as a steadfast opposition leader, challenging the government on crucial issues.
