Om Birla asked PM Modi to skip Lok Sabha amid 'Congress plot' to create 'unprecedented incident'

• Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla revealed he advised PM Modi not to attend the House due to intelligence about a potential "unprecedented incident" by Congress MPs near the PM's chair.
• Birla stated the decision was made to prevent a serious disruption that could have "torn apart the democratic traditions of the country."
• Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized PM Modi's absence, accusing him of "hiding behind the Speaker" and suggesting the government avoids discussion.
• The confrontation stems from Rahul Gandhi's claims about an unpublished memoir by General MM Naravane regarding the 2020 China border crisis, which he alleges the government fears.
• Tensions escalated with the suspension of eight Opposition MPs and BJP MP Nishikant Dubey being allowed to raise critical books, leading to further disruptions in both Houses.
