Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi dismissed claims that Rahul Gandhi’s reference to Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu as a ‘traitor friend’ was an insult to the nation. The verbal clash between Gandhi and Bittu outside Parliament sparked a heated political controversy. The BJP criticized Gandhi’s choice of words, labeling them inappropriate and divisive, especially in the context of historical sensitivities.
Priyanka Chaturvedi highlighted the bitter and discordant atmosphere in the Lok Sabha session, with both sides taking rigid stances. She pointed out that inappropriate language was used by both leaders during the exchange. Chaturvedi also raised concerns about India’s strategic interests, particularly in light of the India–US trade deal, urging the government to clarify its policy direction.
The day in Parliament was marked by tensions, disruptions, and protests from Opposition members over various issues, including the suspension of MPs and criticism of government policies.
