A heated exchange outside Parliament has triggered a political storm. Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi called Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu a “traitor” as he greeted suspended opposition MPs at Makar Dwar. Bittu hit back by branding the opposition “anti-national” and later accused the Congress of being anti-Sikh. The remarks drew strong reactions from Sikh leaders in the BJP, who urged action against Rahul Gandhi. Congress rejected the charges, but the episode has reopened old political wounds linked to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. What began as a personal jibe has now escalated into a wider controversy over history, identity and politics.
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.
