In a heated Parliament session, a fierce clash erupted over the caste census, with Anurag Thakur criticizing opposition leaders for their stance on the issue. Akhilesh Yadav questioned the propriety of asking about caste in Parliament, while Rahul Gandhi defended his position, stating he is unbothered by abuse aimed at advocates for marginalized communities. Outside Parliament, the debate intensifies, with Kiren Rijiju accusing Congress of trying to divide the nation by caste. Sudhanshu Trivedi and Sambit Patra also weighed in, adding to the turmoil. Meanwhile, Congress has filed a privilege motion against Prime Minister Modi for allegedly supporting Thakur's remarks.
