Book War In Lok Sabha: Protests, Torn Papers And Adjournments During Budget Session

Scenes of chaos erupted in Parliament as MPs clashed not over the Budget or the President’s address, but over books. Congress MPs protested with General M M Naravane’s memoir, while BJP MP Nishikant Dubey entered the Lok Sabha carrying multiple books targeting the Nehru-Gandhi family and alleged scams. Despite repeated warnings from the Chair, the uproar escalated, papers were torn and proceedings were adjourned yet again. Priyanka Gandhi accused the government of using Dubey to deliberately disrupt the House, while Dubey defended his move and demanded a discussion on banned books. As slogans drown debate, governance takes a backseat.
