Women Congress MPs Rebut 'Threat to PM Modi' Charge, Allege Speaker Forced to Make Claims

  • Women Congress MPs write to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, alleging ruling party forced him to make "false, baseless, and defamatory" claims.
  • Speaker Om Birla had stated he urged PM Modi not to come to the House due to information about potential "unprecedented incident" by Congress MPs.
  • MPs assert their protests were peaceful and within parliamentary norms, highlighting Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi was denied speaking opportunities.
  • They claim Speaker acknowledged a "grave mistake" regarding a BJP MP's remarks but later seemed to await government response, suggesting loss of independence.
  • MPs insist PM's absence was "an act of fear" and not due to any threat from their side, reaffirming commitment to democratic principles.
