Rahul Gandhi Speech Today | Rahul Gandhi's 'Talk Like Equals' Swipe Over Trade Deal

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi spoke in the Lok Sabha on geopolitcal conflict, artificial intelligence and a challenge to the US. His speech comes amid days of protest by the Opposition over not letting him speak after he mentioned former Army Chief General MM Naravane's unpublished memoir. A political controversy erupted after Gandhi sought to quote excerpts from Naravane's memoir Four Stars of Destiny in Parliament during his speech in Lok Sabha last week. He cited a 2023 social media post by General Naravane to support his claim that the book was available for purchase. The Speaker Om Birla passed a ruling, asking Gandhi not to quote unpublished literature. Opposition parties on Tuesday put in motion the process to oust Birla as Lok Sabha speaker, alleging that he had acted in a "blatantly partisan" manner in the House and prompting him to step aside from chairing the proceedings till the matter is settled. Opposition leaders said the notice to move the no-confidence motion was signed by at least 118 MPs, including those of the Congress, DMK, Samajwadi Party, Left parties and the RJD.
