Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a dig at the central government regarding the trade deal in Bhopal on Tuesday (24 February). Rahul said in Congress’ Mahachoupal that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sold the farmers. During this time he also raised the issue of China. Rahul said that Chinese tanks had entered the Indian border, but the Modi government did not take any action. He also said that the PM has sold the farmers.
Rahul Gandhi said, ‘You saw my speech in Parliament. There is a presidential address. The President’s speech is given there every year. After that the first speaker is the leader of the opposition. This sequence has continued every year. This year, for the first time, the Leader of Opposition was not allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha. I started the speech and was stopped.
What did Rahul say about China’s tank?
He said, ‘I raised the issue of Naravane ji, he has written a book. He wrote that when Chinese tanks and Indian tanks were coming into India, he took orders from Rajnath Singh but he did not respond, then when he asked Ajit Doval, he also did not respond.
Referring to Naravane, Rahul said, ‘The Army Chief writes in his book that that day the government and the Prime Minister left me alone. When the time came to give orders to the Army Chief, the Prime Minister disappeared. This is what I tried to say in Parliament, but I was not allowed to speak.
After the President’s address in Parliament, the first speaker is the LoP of the Lok Sabha.
But…
This is the first time in the history of India that the leader of the opposition was not allowed to speak in the Lok Sabha.
