Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized the Congress for disrupting Lok Sabha proceedings on February 4, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi was to speak. Rijiju accused Congress women MPs of causing chaos by crossing over to the Treasury benches and climbing tables. He highlighted a video showing the events and emphasized the need for restraint among BJP MPs.
Rijiju mentioned that BJP MPs refrained from reacting aggressively, preventing a potential escalation. He pointed out the inappropriate behavior of Congress MPs and the cancellation of the Prime Minister’s speech due to the disturbance caused by Congress women MPs. Rijiju criticized Congress for disregarding parliamentary traditions and dignity.
The controversy arose after Congress MPs surrounded the Prime Minister’s seat with banners, leading to the cancellation of his address. Rijiju condemned Congress for celebrating the incident on social media and alleged that the protest was orchestrated by Rahul Gandhi and Congress leadership. He called for an apology from Congress and emphasized the need for maintaining decorum in Parliament.
