Rahul Gandhi Slams 'Stain on Democracy' After Lok Sabha Uproar Over Naravane Book

• Rahul Gandhi attempted to read excerpts from General M.M. Naravane's unpublished book 'Four Stars of Destiny' during a Lok Sabha debate on the President's address, leading to a heated exchange.
• The government objected to quoting an unpublished book, and Speaker Om Birla, citing Rule 349, prevented Rahul Gandhi from reading the excerpts, causing significant uproar and adjournments.
• In a letter to Speaker Om Birla, Rahul Gandhi protested the incident, calling it a 'stain on democracy' and alleging a deliberate attempt to silence the opposition on national security issues.
• Rahul Gandhi claimed that preventing him from speaking, despite authenticating the document, violated parliamentary traditions and was unprecedented for a Leader of the Opposition.
• Outside Parliament, Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi of being 'compromised' and under pressure due to issues like the Epstein Files and Adani case, linking it to the government's actions in the House.
