The Lok Sabha faced disruptions as the government and Opposition clashed, escalating tensions. BJP MP Nishikant Dubey stirred controversy by referencing published books on Jawaharlal Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten during a speech. This led to strong protests from Congress MPs and a fresh BJP-Congress confrontation.
Dubey accused the Gandhi family of deceit and division based on details from the books. He criticized Rahul Gandhi for stalling Parliament over an unpublished book, calling for a debate on the Gandhi/Nehru family’s history. The Speaker intervened, citing rules against reading from books in the House, leading to adjournment amidst protests.
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra condemned the government for dragging the Gandhi family into the controversy. She accused the Chair of bias and claimed it was a tactic to divert attention and silence the Opposition.
