Kiren Rijiju Alleges 20+ Congress MPs Abused Speaker Om Birla in Chamber

  • Union Minister Kiren Rijiju claimed 20-25 Congress MPs abused Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla in his chamber on February 11.
  • Rijiju alleged senior Congress leaders K C Venugopal and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were present but did not intervene.
  • The minister stated Speaker Om Birla was "very hurt" by the behavior and could have taken stricter action.
  • The row began after Rahul Gandhi sought to quote from an article on General M M Naravane's memoir regarding the 2020 India-China conflict, which the Speaker disallowed.
  • Opposition parties have initiated a resolution to remove Om Birla as Lok Sabha Speaker, accusing him of partisan behavior.
