Portions of Rahul Gandhi's speech in Lok Sabha expunged

0
In Rahul Gandhi's maiden speech as Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, several contentious portions targeting the central government and its policies were expunged from the parliamentary records upon the Speaker's orders. His remarks, which included accusations against the BJP, RSS, and comments on Hindus, drew protests from the ruling party. Gandhi accused the BJP and RSS of spreading violence and hatred, prompting strong rebuttals from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, who demanded an apology. The expunged sections also covered Gandhi's comments on minorities, industrialists like Adani and Ambani, and the Agniveer Scheme.
