High-octane drama erupted in the Lok Sabha as Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi cited a conversation with an 18-year-old student to categorise society into three groups: students, "idiots," and "andhbhakts." Gandhi stated that while a student wears the truth proudly, an "idiot" pretends to be God to build a massive image, while an "andhbhakt" is someone fully convinced that an "idiot is God." The remarks triggered massive protests from treasury benches, prompting Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju to demand the unparliamentary language be expunged from the record.
