Priyanka Gandhi Laughs at 'Sudden Nehru Praise,' Defends Rahul Gandhi
Priyanka Gandhi Laughs at 'Nehru Praise'
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, a leader of the Indian National Congress (INC), explained why she laughed in the Lok Sabha. Gandhi stated that she found it amusing when the ruling party, which typically criticizes former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, suddenly praised him during a speech. She pointed out the contradiction in the ruling party's actions, noting that despite previously condemning Nehru, they quoted his remarks in Parliament that day to justify their own stance. This statement came amid the opposition's discussion of a no-confidence motion against Speaker Om Birla.
Defending Rahul Gandhi's 'Truth'
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra went on to defend Rahul Gandhi, emphasizing that he is the only person who has spoken the truth without yielding to the current government for the past 12 years. She criticized that while Rahul Gandhi fearlessly speaks the truth in Parliament, such truths are not accepted by the ruling party. Her remarks came as criticisms mounted regarding the restriction of opposition leaders' speeches in the House, including claims by the opposition that Rahul Gandhi's microphone was turned off. This further highlighted the opposition's dissatisfaction with the Speaker's impartiality.
