In a recent Lok Sabha debate, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi engaged in a humorous exchange, pointing out that neither he nor Prime Minister Narendra Modi face 'the wife issue.' This light-hearted comment was made while discussing amendments to the women's quota law and the formation of a delimitation commission.
Gandhi highlighted the significant role women play in society, noting that they are pivotal in shaping national perspectives and imaginations. He acknowledged the influence of mothers, sisters, and wives in personal growth and learning. He referenced a jest by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju about a poetic gesture towards a spouse, which led to laughter in the house.
Additionally, Gandhi praised his sister and fellow Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi for her effective oration, joking that she succeeded in making Amit Shah smile during her speech, a feat he hasn't achieved in his long political tenure. This remark further added to the session's levity.
