Union Budget Session: Why does the government have any objection to Rahul Gandhi’s statement, three ministers clashed together?

There was a big uproar in the budget session of the Lok Sabha when Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi mentioned an unprinted book. On February 2, 2026, as soon as Rahul read out former Army Chief Naravane’s statement from his book in the House, Union Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju stood up to stop him.

Controversy over Rahul’s Doklam statement

Rahul Gandhi said that Tejashwi Surya made allegations against the Congress party and raised questions on our patriotism. After this Rahul started quoting the autobiography of former Army Chief Naravane. Rahul said that you will understand who is a patriot. He says that the Chinese tanks were just a few hundred meters away from the Kailash range in the Indian position. But as soon as he started speaking, three senior ministers stood up one after the other and tried to stop him…

• Rajnath Singh: Taking aim at Rahul Gandhi, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that these things were not mentioned in the President’s address. The book that Rahul Gandhi is talking about could not be published. Rahul’s reference is wrong.
• Amit Shah: Expressing objection to Rahul, he said that Rahul should tell whether this book was published or not. Rahul cannot read anyone’s writing.
• Kiren Rijiju: Stopping Rahul from speaking, Rijiju said that you are breaking the rules of the House. Parliament is governed by rules and here you cannot talk about an unprinted book.

Does the government have any objection to Rahul’s statement?

Referring to Rahul Naravane, he said that it has been written about the Prime Minister and the Defense Minister. That’s what I’m referring to. On this Rajnath said that that book has not been published. The government’s biggest objection against Rahul’s statement was that an unprinted book should not be read in Parliament. Rajnath Singh said that wrong arguments were given in Naravane’s book, due to which the book was not allowed to be published. Now Rahul is reading the same book, which is wrong.
