LoP Vs Parliament: Rahul’s Foreign Tour Triggers Fierce BJP–Congress Clash In Winter Session

The Winter Session is turning into a political battleground — from the SIR showdown and toxic pollution to the Vande Mataram row, the IndiGo crisis, and monopoly concerns. But now, a fresh flashpoint has erupted. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi is set to visit Germany from December 15–20, missing the final five days of the session. The BJP calls this “paryatan politics,” questioning how the LOP can leave mid-session. The Congress counters, with Priyanka Gandhi pointing to the Prime Minister’s extensive foreign travel. As both sides trade jabs, the political temperature rises inside and outside Parliament. Should the LOP be abroad while the House is in session? The debate intensifies.
