Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader and MP from Rae Bareli, has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, demanding the reinstatement of expunged portions from his maiden speech as Leader of the Opposition. Gandhi criticized the Speaker's decision as "selective expunction" and claimed it violated parliamentary rules. He argued that the expunged remarks, including critiques of BJP policies, were within his rights under Article 105(1) of the Indian Constitution. Gandhi's move comes after parts of his speech, addressing issues like NEET and the Agnipath scheme, were removed, sparking controversy over freedom of speech in Parliament.
